When AI can write a student's code, essay, or lab report in seconds, completing a task is no longer proof of learning. DesignED Studio™ gives teachers a tool that makes AI work for their prep time — while keeping students in an environment where they still have to reason their way to the answer.
For Administrators — The Three Questions
Students are using AI to skip the thinking — and traditional assessments can't tell the difference. DesignED Studio™ makes skipping impossible by removing the shortcut. Students must reason through the problem; the AI guides their thinking instead of answering for them.
It's two connected tools. Teachers use one to build lessons and assessments in minutes — it handles the formatting so they don't have to. Students use the other during class activities. No new hardware required. Works across CS, Science, Math, and ELA.
Teachers get a simple 3-point progress summary for each student after every session — showing how their thinking improved, not just whether they got the right answer. No extra grading. No separate data platform to log into.
Most AI tools in schools do one thing: help students finish assignments faster. DesignED Studio™ draws a clear line — AI speeds up the work teachers shouldn't be doing manually, while students still have to earn every answer.
Building rubrics, aligning lessons to standards, creating differentiated versions for different learners — these tasks eat hours of planning time every week. DesignED Studio™ generates all of it automatically so teachers can spend that time actually teaching.
Inside the student environment, AI can't hand over answers. Instead, it asks students to form a hypothesis, test it, explain what went wrong, and try again. The cognitive heavy lifting stays with the student — exactly where it belongs.
One tool lives in the teacher's planning workflow. The other lives in the student's hands during class. They talk to each other automatically — no extra setup required.
The Teacher Planning Tool
An AI-powered lesson builder for CS educators. Tell it the standard you're teaching, the grade level, and how much student choice you want to build in — it generates a fully structured lesson, rubric, and assessment in minutes.
The Student Activity Environment
A structured AI workspace where students can't just ask for the answer. They work through a scenario by forming a hypothesis, running tests, and explaining their reasoning — step by step, with AI guiding the process rather than solving it.
Traditional grades tell you whether a student got the right answer. DesignED Studio™ tracks the work in between — how they responded when they were wrong, whether their thinking improved, and how much they relied on AI support versus figuring it out themselves.
After each session, teachers receive a plain-language 3-point Cognitive Growth Summary for each student — no extra data platform, no manual analysis.
How quickly did the student change course when their approach wasn't working? Faster recovery signals stronger problem-solving instincts.
How much did the student's reasoning improve from their first attempt to their last? Tracks real growth across a single session.
How often did the student figure things out without needing a prompt from the AI? High independence scores indicate genuine mastery.
DesignED Studio™ isn't a CS-only tool. The same structured reasoning approach — give students a real-world scenario, block the easy answer, make them diagnose the problem — applies across every core subject area. One district license covers your whole school.
| Subject & Standards | Real-World Scenario | Student Tools | What Students Figure Out |
|---|---|---|---|
| Computer Science CSTA Aligned |
A delivery drone loses control mid-flight. Why? | Logic blocks, conditional sliders, variable controls. | Finding the bug — whether it's a loop, an off-by-one error, or mismatched data types. |
| Biological Sciences NGSS Aligned |
A lake ecosystem suddenly collapses from algae bloom. What went wrong? | Environmental sliders for pH, temperature, and nitrogen levels. | Tracing cause-and-effect through biological systems to identify the tipping point. |
| Mathematics CCSS-M Aligned |
A company's financial model predicts profit — but they're actually going broke. Where's the error? | Statistical function builder and dynamic graph editor. | Spotting the flawed assumption hidden inside a growth formula or projection model. |
| ELA / Humanities CCSS-ELA Aligned |
A historical treaty gets rejected by every legislative body that reviews it. What's wrong with the argument? | Rhetorical map showing claims, supporting evidence, and counterarguments. | Identifying logical fallacies, missing evidence, or structural weaknesses in the argument. |
We're partnering with a select group of districts for the 2026–27 school year. Pilot participants get full access to both tools, onboarding support, and a dedicated implementation contact. Fill out the form below and we'll be in touch within two business days.
