What students build
What could students create?
The answer shouldn't be one thing.
The point isn't teaching every student to build the same thing. It's giving every student the ability to build their thing.
Five kinds
And none of them is a template

What every one of them ends at
Five kinds of Creation
Every one of them ends at a real web address a student can share.
AI apps
Creations that answer questions, explain things or write — using AI themselves, through Ideora.
Games
Playable in a browser, with scores that persist and rules the student decided.
Websites
For a club, a class, an event or a cause. A real address rather than a document.
Study tools
Revision helpers, quizzes and practice drills built around what the student is actually studying.
Science projects
Calculators, lab notebooks, simulations and trackers for work that already exists.
Twenty-eight starting points
Grouped by what a student is trying to do rather than by subject. Every tile cycles through several — the range is the point.
Exam revision helper
Reading comprehension buddy
Class notice board
Inter-school events calendar
Habit tracker
Chemistry lab notebook
Something nobody has thought of yet.
Examples of what is possible. Not a gallery of work students have done.
Which kind fits which lesson
A rough guide. Students routinely ignore it, which is fine.
| If you want students to… | Point them at | Because |
|---|---|---|
| Meet the whole journey once | A study tool | Small enough to finish, useful enough to keep |
| Start reading code voluntarily | A game | When the timer misbehaves they genuinely want to know why |
| Build for somebody other than themselves | A website | It forces a decision about who the audience is |
| Understand what AI actually does | An AI app | Building one teaches more than using ten |
| Connect to work they already have | A science project | The data is real and already collected |
Something nobody has thought of yet.
The most likely outcome, and the reason there is no template gallery.
Questions about what's possible
No — they are examples of what is possible. We do not put student work on this site without the student's permission, and we do not invent it.
That is the normal case. These five categories are a starting point for students who want one, not a menu of what Ideora can produce.
A first working version takes minutes. How long the interesting part takes is up to the student, and that part is the lesson.
No. Every one of them starts the same way — describing what you want in ordinary language. What differs is what the student ends up caring about, and therefore what they become curious enough to look inside.
Usually it ends up being. A revision tool with a quiz in it is a study tool and a game; a club website that collects sign-ups is a website and a database. The categories are a way in, not a boundary.
See what your students would make.
The honest answer is that nobody knows yet. That's the interesting bit.
