Google rolled out educational features for the back-to-school season, launching a dedicated student hub in Gemini and adding interactive simulations and practice quizzes to Search.
Google introduced new learning features to its Search product just in time for the back-to-school season, allowing the search engine to generate practice quizzes and interactive simulations for complex topics. The quizzes cover a wide range of standardized tests such as the SAT and GRE, operating globally in English at no cost, and rely on partnerships with content providers including Princeton Review and Careers360.[1]
The company is also building a dedicated student hub inside Gemini that consolidates research materials, flashcards and study notebooks into a single organized interface. The upgraded notebooks now natively support both images and graphs to better handle complex subjects, and they can automatically extract important exam dates from an uploaded syllabus to populate a student's Google Calendar without manual entry.[2]
To promote adoption, eligible students in the United States will receive a complimentary year of the Google AI Pro subscription tier, granting access to higher Gemini usage limits alongside 5 TB of cloud storage space. In parallel, Google is integrating its Deep Research capability directly into Gemini Live, letting users request comprehensive reports through speech and receive notifications when the conversational assistant completes the background work.[2]
