Get curious — with AI
From earthworms to the solar system: the AI coach meets younger pupils with questions, illustrations and simple experiments.
Age-appropriate language
KS1–KS2 — AI adjusts complexity.
Visual explanations
Generated illustrations on demand.
Home experiments
Safe activities pupils can do alone.
Wonder questions
AI sparks curiosity with open prompts.
Inquiry cycle
Wonder · investigate · explain · reflect — the coach keeps pupils inside the scientific method.
Sensory-rich content
Adapts to learning style — from hand-drawn sketches to animated models of the same phenomenon.

How it works
Ask anything
Pupil asks their own question.
Get an answer at their level
AI adapts the language.
Run an experiment
Where possible: a home version.
Draw or write
Pupil documents in their portfolio.
Use cases
KS1
With adult-voice TTS.
KS2
Bridging to biology.
Cross-curricular
With English and maths.
KS1: daily weather
The class's daily weather observation is analysed by the coach with the pupils.
KS2: build a bridge
Construction tasks with materials, forces and testing — documented in the portfolio.
Connects with the rest of the platform
Teacher & school — two angles on one tool
For the science & tech teacher
The coach emphasises inquiry, modelling and communication — the three competence areas in the Danish curriculum for primary science.
- ·Inquiry template
- ·Explanation in words + drawing
- ·Reflection at the pupil's level
For the school
Primary science forms the foundation for physics/chemistry, biology and geography in upper years — the coach logs what foundation has been built.
- ·Coverage of competence areas
- ·Compare year groups
- ·Ready for upper-year sciences

Frequently asked questions
Is it age-friendly?
Yes. AI uses pictures and everyday examples.
Can parents join in?
Yes. Parents see pupils’ questions in the parent app.
Which curriculum goals does the Science and Technology coach cover?
The coach is mapped to England's National Curriculum for Science and Technology (KS2–KS4 programmes of study) and AQA/Edexcel/OCR specifications at GCSE. Teachers see coverage per lesson and per year plan.
What happens to personal data in the conversation?
Every prompt is scrubbed for NI numbers, email and pupil names before it reaches the AI (our PII guard returns 422 on a hit). Nothing is used for training, and only the school admin can review prompt audit logs.
Can the teacher turn the AI coach off for individual pupils or classes?
Yes. The AI coach can be disabled per class, set or individual pupil under Productivity AI controls. Pupils then see the same workspace without the AI buttons.
How does coach activity show up in My Learning and the Gradebook?
Each session is logged on the pupil's knowledge map and can be linked to lesson preparation and the year plan. Teachers see engagement, AI use and artefacts in the Gradebook — AI answers themselves never produce a mark.
