​🛑 School is back. The tools that will actually teach are being built this weekend.

​Every classroom, every campus, every learner is asking the same question in 2026: what does AI change about how we teach and learn? Not the demos. The daily work. Homework, feedback loops, attention, mastery, motivation.

​Building a chatbot is easy. Building a tool a teacher adopts twice is the hard part. This weekend we build for the students, teachers, and administrators who show up Monday morning.

​Focus Tracks

​🎓 Track 1 · Teacher-Facing Tools Grading, lesson planning, formative feedback, IEP drafting, differentiation. Build something a real teacher would use twice.

​📚 Track 2 · Student Learning Homework helpers that don't just answer, that teach. Spaced repetition. Bloom's taxonomy in practice. Show retention, not just "helpfulness."

​🏫 Track 3 · School Operations Attendance, communications, admin workflow. The unglamorous plumbing that saves 5 hours a week per staff member.

​🧠 Track 4 · Learning Science in the Loop Interventions grounded in cognitive science. Metacognition scaffolds, distributed practice, active recall. Bring the research citations.

​🃏 Wildcard (Open Category) Any concept that doesn't fit the tracks above. If it solves a real problem in education, build it.
