Deskpad is a philosophy.
It stands for the belief that technology can do immense good for education, but only when incorporated in the right way.
All of our services are and will be completely free to use. We are a student-led movement and hold the belief that responsible adoption does not come with an ulterior motive.
Deskpad is comprised of three arms: Learn, Labs, and Policy
Each is independently operating, but all three are unified under the same core philosophy.
Deskpad Learn
We've built a really cool platform that enables teachers to bring AI into the classroom in a way that is transparent and preserves students' critical thinking. Deskpad also works inside Google Docs with our plugin. As per our mission, students never pay.
Deskpad Labs
We believe good research is as important as a good product. Our mission with Labs is to study how AI actually changes the way people learn and write, especially in K-12 education. We publish everything we find, even when those findings are inconvenient. Our work spans data-backed papers to AI benchmarks for education. We have multiple projects currently in motion. Stay tuned!
Deskpad Policy
Policy is about bringing students to the table in shaping the future of AI policy, both inside and out of the classroom. We work with schools and teachers on their individual AI policies, and with local governments in shaping broader AI in education legislation. You can find some of our resources, including our free and editable AI Policy Kit, our AI in Education Documentary, and more, on the Policy site below.
