The pilot term
One class, one branch, one term, free.
Who this suits. A school that would rather watch it work in one room than read about it working everywhere.
- Could start
- This term
- What it asks of the school
- Light
How it runs
You pick one class and one teacher. We open the accounts and put the building budget in them, so nobody at the school goes near a payment page for the whole term.
The class runs inside a period you already have. We hand the teacher a set of ready-made exercises, sit in on the first session, and stay reachable for the rest of the term.
At the end, we go through the students' apps with the teacher and you decide whether to carry on. The price of carrying on is agreed in writing before the term starts, so that meeting is a decision rather than a negotiation.
What each side puts in
The school provides
- One class and one teacher, for one term
- A period that already exists in the timetable
- A straight answer at the end, whichever way it goes
The school gets
- A full term of the programme at no cost
- Your own teacher's verdict rather than ours
- A set of finished student apps you can show parents and the board
The students get
- An app of their own, live on the internet at its own address
- The same app running on their phone
- Something to show that is not a screenshot of a screen nobody else can open
How it is paid for
Nobody pays. We carry the term. What it costs afterwards is written down and agreed before the first lesson, because a free pilot with an open-ended price at the end is not really free.
There is no price on this page, and that is on purpose. What this costs to run depends on how it is taught — short exercises shared between a few students cost a fraction of what long solo projects cost — and we would rather measure that in your school than quote a number we cannot stand behind. Whatever follows a pilot is agreed in writing before the pilot begins.
The catch
One class, one term, and we will not extend it into a second free one. A pilot with no end date is how both sides avoid deciding. If it works, the next step costs money.
Every model on the main page carries one of these, and the same page lists what we have not built yet. Everything we have not finished across the whole product is on our trust page.
One class, one term, and then you decide.
Tell us which branch and which teacher, and we will set it up.
