Student Platforms
Our AI Literacy Courses for elementary grades live in our Launch Pad platform, and the courses for secondary grades live in Voyage.
Launch Pad
Launch Pad features a colorful, easy-to-navigate interface that is perfect for younger learners. The following AI Literacy courses are available for you to explore:

Accessing Launch Pad through the Teacher Portal allows you to view the content your students will see. As a teacher, you are also able to view answer keys for student quizzes.
Voyage
Skill Struck's Voyage platform was created with middle and high school-aged learners in mind.
