AI literacy for staff
Five short modules for a staff meeting: how AI works, where it helps and hurts learning, exercises to try, AI at work, and trust.
Start the staff program →
AI preparedness
How AI works, how companies use it, and how to direct a team of AI agents. No math or coding needed.
Start the student course →Our approach
Learning first, not cutting corners
Banning AI doesn’t work: it’s built into search, documents and phones. Ignoring it doesn’t either. We help schools set clear rules that protect the hard parts of learning, like exams and writing, while letting students use AI to understand things better.
The technology changes every few months, so we don’t hand down one right way to use it. Every policy we recommend gets reviewed each year, with students, parents and teachers at the table.
Accused of using AI?
AI detectors are often wrong. What evidence to gather, what to say to your teacher, and how to appeal.
