What if there was a tool to help us take our wild project ideas and create a scope and sequence? There is! Inkwire and the Professional Learning team at High Tech High’s Graduate School of Education designed an AI-assisted curriculum planning tool.

Powered by High Tech High's Kaleidoscope framework for project-based learning (PBL) design, this AI assistant helps educators – and learners! – integrate standards and curriculum requirements into a cycle of PBL Essentials.

The AI-assisted Kaleidoscope tool is co-designed by Inkwire & the High Tech High Graduate School of Education Professional Learning Team. The "Design for Deeper Learning Kaleidoscope" framework is copyright by the High Tech High Graduate School of Education.
