Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers about the learning experience, responsible AI use, privacy, and support.
What is StellarStep?
StellarStep is an AI literacy learning platform for high school and college students. It combines structured lessons, practice activities, progress tracking, and a guided AI tutor in a space exploration setting.
What can I learn here?
Explore how AI learns from data and makes predictions, practice writing useful prompts and evaluating outputs, and work through responsible AI topics such as bias, privacy, and academic integrity.
Does the AI tutor complete assignments for students?
The tutor is instructed to ask questions, offer hints, and explain concepts so students can do the thinking themselves. Follow your instructor's rules for any AI assistance with assignments.
Can AI answers be incorrect?
Yes. AI systems can misunderstand a prompt or produce inaccurate information. Verify important claims with class materials, instructors, and reliable sources.
How is learning progress saved?
Signed-in learners can keep lesson activity, practice results, saved resources, and preferences connected to their account so they can continue later.
What information should I avoid sharing with the tutor?
Do not enter passwords, identification numbers, private school records, health details, or other sensitive personal information. Tutor prompts and replies are saved to your account and recent conversation context is sent to the AI service to generate responses.
Can educators use StellarStep with students?
Educators can explore the platform as a guided introduction to AI concepts and responsible use. Before classroom use, review your school policies, assignment rules, and student privacy requirements.
Can I change the language or accessibility settings?
Open the gear icon for cockpit controls, including interface language, text size, theme, contrast, and reduced motion. Language settings translate the interface; lesson content remains in English.
Is StellarStep accessible on phones and tablets?
The public pages and learning workspace adapt to mobile screens and desktop displays. Planet details are available by touch or keyboard as well as hover, and reduced motion is supported.
How can I get help or report a problem?
Use the Contact page and choose Student Support, Educator Resources, Platform Feedback, or Technical Issue. Include enough detail to describe what happened without sharing sensitive information.
