The Problem

K-12 students exhibit 55% higher engagement levels in group activities compared to traditional lectures. However, teachers are compelled to allocate 54% of their time towards whole-class lectures due to time and resource constraints when addressing smaller groups.

• Limited instructional support in group learning
• "One Size Fits All" approach for different learning styles
• Stale classroom discussions

Our Solution

How CARL Works

• Guides group activities based on custom instructions
• Stores classroom discussion and whiteboard state
• Responds to student's text and visual questions instantly
• Generates warm-up and exit questions for recall
