Abstract
Abstract A groundbreaking collaboration in Canada has united astrophysicists, science educators, and teachers to create Exoplanets in the Classroom – a dynamic suite of K-12 resources designed to inspire the next generation of scientists. Featuring hands-on activities, practical slide decks, engaging videos, and profiles of trailblazing Canadian astronomers, this comprehensive collection of resources is freely accessible online in both French and English. Since 2021, the Trottier Institute for Research on Exoplanets (IREx) at the Université de Montréal, in partnership with Discover the Universe and other educational innovators, has crafted these resources with input from over one hundred Canadian teachers. This rigorous, iterative process ensures seamless integration into a wide range of subjects, from science to the arts, all while meeting Canadian K-12 curriculum standards. These innovative resources provide educators with the tools to captivate students with the wonders of exoplanet research and the stories of diverse, local scientists at the forefront of discovery. Already tested and embraced by students and teachers from diverse backgrounds, these materials are now poised to inspire a global audience, offering astrophysicists and educators a powerful way to ignite curiosity and engage learners in classrooms and beyond.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
