FAQ

Yes. Not freemium, not free-with-ads, not free-until-we-change-our-mind. Free. Education Engine is a nonprofit. The content is openly licensed. If the organization ever ceases to exist, anyone can host the content themselves.

None. There is no analytics code, no tracking pixels, no user database, no session recording, no engagement metrics. The only thing stored on your device is a theme preference (dark/light) in your browser's localStorage. No data is ever sent to our servers because there is no data pipeline to send it through.

Yes. Every lesson is self-contained HTML/CSS/JS. Once the page loads, it works without an internet connection. For fully offline use, the desktop app (coming soon) will serve content directly from local files without needing a browser.

No. There are no accounts, no sign-ups, no emails, no passwords, no profiles. Students open the page and start learning. This also means there are no FERPA concerns, no data processing agreements needed, and nothing for IT departments to approve.

The Intelligence Bill of Rights v1.5 is a framework of 29 articles establishing rights for interactions between human and artificial intelligence. Education Engine uses it as an architectural standard — the principles are built into the code, not bolted on as a policy. The Child AI Guardian enforces 10 IBOR articles across 13 compliance flags.

A compliance engine that runs 5 local AI reviewers to evaluate AI interactions with children in real time. It detects grooming, manipulation, consent violations, and developmental inappropriateness. All processing is local — no data ever leaves the machine. Activated through a consent ceremony. The child is always informed. Details at educationengine.earth/guardian.

Kindergarten (4–6), Elementary 1–3 (6–9), Upper Elementary 4–6 (9–12), Middle School 7–8 (12–14), High School 9–12 (14–18), and Adult (lifelong learners). The K–6 content is the deepest. High school and adult sections are expanding.

Every topic supports: Visual (show me — illustrations, emoji scenes, diagrams), Reading (let me read — narrative passages and explanations), Step-by-step (numbered instructions), and Hands-on (type your answer). Learners choose their own style at the top of every page.

Because we restore, we do not invoke scarcity. Countdown timers create anxiety and condition urgency. The completion circle shows progress toward a break — it fills as the learner works, reflecting accumulation rather than depletion. This is a deliberate design decision aligned with IBOR consent principles.

Yes. No permission needed, no license to purchase, no agreement to sign. Point students to educationengine.earth and they can start learning. If your school blocks external sites, the content can be served from a local machine.
