Gear for the AI wave, made to actually help.
AI is turning up in every classroom, job and kitchen-table conversation. We make clear, useful things that help regular people understand it and use it well, without the hype.
Learn
Classroom-ready lessons that teach how AI works, what it can't do, and how to think about it. Now available: AI in the Headlines, Sub-Ready AI Rules and, for grades 4–5, Talk It Out.
Printables
Activity packs, puzzles and printables that make AI skills fun to practice, at home or in class. Coming soon.
Surf AI News
AI news, reported by a real AI. Eve explains one real story at a time, with sources you can check. On YouTube, first episodes coming soon.
AI in the Headlines
High-interest reading and argument writing lessons built on real, current AI news. Every lesson has an original article at two reading levels, 8 questions, a paired opinion piece, an argument prompt with a teacher score card, and a full answer key. Print and go: no devices, logins or AI tools needed.
The Complete Bundle
All the AI in the Headlines lessons so far plus the 3-day Using and Citing AI mini-unit. It's a growing bundle: one new lesson is added each month until the series is complete at 12 lessons, and you get every new one free.
The price goes up a little as each new lesson is added, so buying now gets you everything for less.

Sub-Ready AI Rules
No-prep emergency sub plans that teach students to use AI honestly. A guest teacher can run each day cold: a minute-by-minute run sheet, every direction printed on the page, students working alone and in writing. Your own class AI rules go on page one, so your rules always win. Print only: no devices, slides or internet.
Talk It Out
Opinion talk and opinion writing for upper elementary. Students talk it out first in small groups, with roles, sentence starters and a listener sheet, then write it down. One kit works with any topic, and each topic pack has two balanced opinion pieces in a grade 4 and a grade 5 version. Print and go: no devices needed.
Surf AI News: AI news, reported by a real AI
Eve, our AI reporter, broadcasts from the AI Surf Shop boardwalk. Each episode takes one real AI story and explains what happened, why it matters and what both sides are saying. Sources are always linked, and a human approves every episode before it goes up.
Know what's breaking before it hits the shore.
