We help students develop critical thinking and foster creativity.

AI can memorize. Kids should learn to think. That’s what we teach.

The shift

School was a deal. AI just changed the terms.

The old deal: do well in school, get a good job, build a good life.

AI is taking the first jobs kids used to grow into.

The old ladder
A good lifethe top of the climb
Get promotedbuild a career
The first jobwhere you used to start
Entry-level work
The first rung
AI took the bottom rungs
No first rung, no way up. US entry-level job postings are down 35% (Revelio Labs, via WEF).
The ladder WitWeb builds
A life you buildon judgment, anywhere
Change your mindwhen the evidence says so
Hear the other sidesteel-man it
Weigh the evidencesort strong from weak
Ask a sharp questionwhere every climb starts
Every rung is a thinking skill
Rebuild the rungs machines can't climb for you, and the way up is open again.

So teach the part AI can’t do: thinking. Ask a sharp question, weigh the proof, hear the other side, change your mind. WitWeb makes it a habit, one debate at a time.

How it works

Four ways to make an argument

All graded on one thing: how well you reason.

Hot Takes

One prompt. One stance. One argument.

Post a prompt. Students pick a side, defend it, and rate each other's reasoning. You grade with a rubric.

e.g. "Recess should be twice as long."

Hot Take Forum

A whole class, one debate.

Students post their own hot takes and reply to classmates who disagree. One assignment, a room full of arguments.

Own posts · threaded replies · required interactions

1v1 Battles

Head-to-head, argued in writing.

Two students, opposite sides. Judged anonymously, so it's about the argument, not the friendship.

Anonymous judging · forfeit deadlines · self-votes

Debate Practice

Build the argument, piece by piece.

Claim, evidence, warrant, rebuttal. AI coaches the structure until a good argument feels natural.

Facts · Value · Policy arguments
For teachers

Assign in a click. Grade with a straight face.

Post a prompt. Let them argue. Grade the thinking, not the grammar.
