Our approach

Practical guidance, grounded in evidence.

We are currently in a founding pilot phase, working with a small number of schools, parent groups, and universities to test, refine, and validate our AI literacy approach before scaling. If you're interested in being part of this early cohort, we'd love to hear from you.

The B.E.A.R. concept

A framework for guiding children's AI use

Inspired by the Mama Bear Principle: we walk beside children before we let them go.

B

Be present

Actively accompany children's AI use rather than leaving them to navigate it alone. The question is not whether, but how we guide them.

E

Ethics

Data privacy, consent, bias in AI systems, academic integrity. What is fair? What is safe? What matches our values?

A

Awareness

Knowing what AI is doing in children's everyday lives: with their data, their thinking, their development. See before you react.

R

Reflection

Keeping human thinking at the center, including reflecting on our own AI use. Learning begins in the mind, not on the screen.

Current phase

Building from the ground up

1

Pilot & Validation Now

Small-scale workshops with schools and parent groups in Vienna and beyond. Collecting real-world insights, refining content, building a local evidence base.

2

Structured Programs Coming

Multi-session school programs, teacher professional development, and parent workshop series, informed by pilot findings.

3

Framework & Platform

A documented AI readiness framework, resource library, and institutional partnerships, built from the evidence gathered in phases 1 and 2.

What we offer

Workshops & advisory support

All sessions are practical, interactive, and grounded in real-world examples, not theory alone.

Raising AI-Ready Children

A parent workshop building practical AI literacy at home, understanding how children are actually using AI, what the risks and opportunities are, and how to support responsible use without fear or blind trust.

  • What your child is using AI for (you may be surprised)

Why this is different

Not just another AI workshop.

Most existing initiatives focus either on AI tools or on online safety. We combine both, and go deeper.

🧠

Learning science-informed

Grounded in cognitive science, we address what AI does to how people actually learn, retain, and think.

📊

Evidence-based

Built on peer-reviewed research, including Stanford's 2026 K–12 AI review and UNESCO guidance on generative AI in education.

🇦🇹

Austria-specific

Localized for Austrian schools and families. German and English. Aligned with EU AI Act Article 4 AI literacy requirements and local policy context.

How we work

Every school is different.
We start with a conversation.

We do not offer a fixed menu. We start by understanding where your school is, what your teachers need, and what your community is asking for. From there we design an approach that fits.

🎯

The Starting Point

A 20-minute conversation with school leadership. We listen first. What are you seeing? What are your teachers asking? What do parents want to know? That conversation shapes everything that follows.

👩‍🏫

Teacher Sessions

From a single 90-minute introduction to a half-day deep dive with subject-specific breakouts. Practical, grounded in evidence, and designed to leave teachers feeling equipped rather than overwhelmed.

👨‍👩‍👧

Parent Evenings

A practical, honest conversation for families. What is AI actually doing in your child's learning? What are the risks? And what can parents do at home, starting tonight?

Pilot phase — currently free

Start with a pilot partnership

We are currently inviting a small number of schools in Vienna to participate as founding pilot partners. You receive a tailored session at no cost. We receive real-world data and feedback that shapes everything we build next.

Start the conversation

What pilot schools receive

✓

A tailored staff session on AI, learning, and responsible use in the classroom

✓

Practical tools teachers can use immediately, including the AI Lens framework card

✓

Access to the Austrian AI Learning Snapshot 2026 findings as they are published

✓

A follow-up conversation eight weeks later to discuss what changed

✓

Recognition as a founding partner in all published research and materials

✓

No cost during the pilot phase. The commitment is modest: one session, a brief survey, a short feedback conversation.
