Now selecting founding schools for spring 2027

AI tools will keep changing. Be the first school to teach the skills beneath them.

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.

Try it: spot the problems

Sample card

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.

#StudentTableFavorite
Club results: "Pizza wins! 5 out of 6 students agree."

The program

Data skills first, so AI makes sense

Hands-on, discussion-based lessons that help students think clearly about data and AI.

Analyze→ Question→ Verify
Why schools say yes

Built to be easy to start and hard to get wrong

Fits the curriculum you already teach

Lessons connect to the units already on your calendar. No new course, no schedule rebuild.

Respects teachers' time

Ready-to-teach guides, answer keys and launch training mean teachers prep in minutes, not hours.

Screen-free by design

Students work on paper. No devices, accounts or new software to approve.

Private by default

Student names never come to ORTU. Materials live in your district's own learning platform, and you keep control of your data.

Every student included

Large-print, Spanish and accessible digital versions, with supports for English learners and students with IEP or 504 plans.

Judgment that lasts

As AI handles more routine work, the human skill is deciding what to trust. That's what students practice in every session.

Founding schools

Help shape ORTU, and be first to bring it to your students

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 low-cost supported pilotThe pilot fee is credited toward a full license if you continue.
  • Launch training and weekly office hoursDirect support from the ORTU team throughout the pilot.
  • Success measures agreed up frontYou decide with us what success looks like before the first session.
  • A results report for your boardClear outcomes you can share with leadership and families.
  • A voice in what comes nextYour teachers' feedback shapes the programs we build for other grades.

Who we are

Built in Washington by experts in data and education

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.

Questions

What schools ask first

Do students need devices?

No. Students work from printed datasets and forms. Teacher materials are delivered through your district's learning platform.

Which class does it fit in?

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.

What student data does ORTU see?

None with names. Scored work uses student codes, your district keeps the list, and a data agreement is signed before launch.

What does it cost?

Founding schools start with a low-cost pilot that's credited toward a license. We'll share details on our first call.

We're not in Washington. Can we join?

Yes, tell us where you are. The program is aligned to Washington standards first, and the core skills appear in standards across most states.
