1. Gemini’s Student Hub Reached Workspace for Education Accounts

Google. The student hub in the Gemini app, which first launched for personal accounts, is now available to Google Workspace for Education users of all ages, as well as Workspace business customers and Workspace Individual subscribers outside the EEA. The hub collects Gemini’s learning tools in one place, including study notebooks built from uploaded class materials, flashcards, and practice quizzes, and is reached at gemini.google.com/students or from the Students entry in the app menu. Access follows the existing Generative AI settings in the Workspace Admin console, and the feature is live now for both Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains. Source
