The landscape

The pace changed. Most responses didn't.

Schools are writing AI policies for tools students moved past six months ago. Teachers are navigating questions no training prepared them for. Students are using systems that shape how they think, and nobody has shown them how to see that clearly.

Big Wella builds for that gap.

What we build

Tools and courses designed around how students actually learn.

  • 13 source types
  • Smart Import via ISBN, DOI, or URL
  • Three-gate accuracy checking
  • No account needed

BLACKOUT

A short-form narrative game for students aged 11 to 16 built around the question they're already sitting with: what's mine and what isn't? One authentic scenario, 12 writing fragments, one hard choice to defend. The game doesn't lecture. It makes students feel the weight of the decision before it tells them anything.

In development

Source Sleuth

A digital literacy platform that turns students into truth detectives. Interactive case investigations built on frameworks designed for AI in education. Students analyse evidence, classify sources, and reach their own verdict. AI delivers the content. The judgment stays human.

In development

Academic Research Toolkit

A research skills platform built for the way students actually search now, with AI in the loop from the first prompt. Frameworks designed for AI in education are embedded throughout, not bolted on at the end. Teachers see exactly where students are in the process, not just what they submitted.

In development

Starlit Watercolour

A native iPad app for children aged 6 to 10 where real astrophysics becomes a first paintbrush. Children discover colour the way astronomers do, by watching gases react to stars and recording the light that is born from that collision. 108 scientifically derived pigments. Every emission wavelength is real. No ads, no in-app purchases, no tracking. Pay once.

Courses

Short, rigorous e-learning that names what's changing.

The Hidden Cost of the Cloud

Module 1 of 8. More modules in development.

AI runs on something. Data centres, water, energy, rare earth metals, and the labour of people most students will never meet. This course gives students the language and the evidence to understand what the digital world actually costs.

Built on sourced data from the IEA, UN Global E-Waste Monitor, Nature, and CEFC. No approximations. No invented statistics.

What educators are saying

★★★★★

"The kids really loved it. I had a bunch of them comparing the same prompt in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude and deciding which was best. They were also really engaged in writing better prompts. We can consider that a huge success."

AI Literacy Workshop
★★★★★

"LOVE LOVE LOVE. The specific examples to each subject are exactly right. And the message that this is a skill that helps students everywhere, not just in one subject, is exactly what we needed to hear."
