Prompt-Ed

Building the students
media literacy can't.

We've spent a decade teaching kids what's right online. The lessons are landing — and students are still struggling to focus, resist shortcuts, and do hard things on their own. That gap is what Prompt-Ed is built to close — with practical K–12 tools that work.

"Technology is here to stay. Our job is to adjust and respond — so the next generation inherits this AI-powered world ready to maintain their agency and think critically alongside the tools, not in spite of them."

And if we do this right, I believe our brilliant young people will use these same tools to amplify ideas that are entirely their own. I've seen it firsthand. Over the last two years I built everything on this platform — the frameworks, the calculator, the curriculum — using AI as a force multiplier for my own thinking. Not as a shortcut. As a collaborator.

"Before a team. Before funding. Me, my dog, and three AI tools in a home office — taking on a problem I believed was worth solving."

— Rebecca Guglielmo, Founder · Prompt-Ed

Programs, tools, and frameworks

Each piece of work addresses a different dimension of the same underlying problem: students navigating a digital world engineered to capture their attention before they have the cognitive foundation to direct it.

Media literacy teaches students what's right. The Ethical Tech Lab gives them space to actually work it out — with their peers, out loud, about the real choices they're already navigating. A year-long program built around student voice, critical thinking, teamwork, and public reasoning. Culminates in the Ethical Tech Tournament in 6th grade.
