ORTU is a screen-free program that teaches students the fundamental skills they need to question and use AI well. It runs in short sessions inside the classes you already teach.
A club asked: "What's the school's favorite lunch?" They surveyed students at their own lunch table. Find 3 problems: two bad rows, and one problem with who was asked. Tap anything you don't trust.

Hands-on, discussion-based lessons that help students think clearly about data and AI.
Lessons connect to the units already on your calendar. No new course, no schedule rebuild.
Ready-to-teach guides, answer keys and launch training mean teachers prep in minutes, not hours.
Students work on paper. No devices, accounts or new software to approve.
Student names never come to ORTU. Materials live in your district's own learning platform, and you keep control of your data.
Large-print, Spanish and accessible digital versions, with supports for English learners and students with IEP or 504 plans.
As AI handles more routine work, the human skill is deciding what to trust. That's what students practice in every session.
We're working with a small number of founding schools in spring 2027. Founding schools get the program first, with more support than any later cohort.
A short conversation about your students and goals.
Agreements, data privacy review and teacher launch training.
Short lessons inside your regular classes, with ORTU support each week.
Results report and a decision about next year.
ORTU was founded by data and education professionals who saw that students are surrounded by data and AI but rarely taught how to question either one. We build every lesson with teachers' time and students' privacy in mind.
Meet the ORTU teamNo. Students work from printed datasets and forms. Teacher materials are delivered through your district's learning platform.
It's built to slot into the classes you already teach without displacing what's on your calendar. An advisory or elective period can work too.
None with names. Scored work uses student codes, your district keeps the list, and a data agreement is signed before launch.
Founding schools start with a low-cost pilot that's credited toward a license. We'll share details on our first call.
Yes, tell us where you are. The program is aligned to Washington standards first, and the core skills appear in standards across most states.
