Clascade

Teachers upload the slide deck they already have. Clascade turns it into a collaborative 3D lesson the whole class moves through together.

Built in a weekend by a team of four ยท July 2026

// why we built it

I teach at a summer school, and I noticed something almost immediately: kids don't pay attention to slideshows.

It doesn't matter how well they're designed. The slides go up, students tune out, and the teacher has to work twice as hard to keep everyone engaged.

So we built Clascade. Not another AI demo โ€” something a teacher could open on Monday morning and actually use with the material they'd already prepared.

// what mattered

Teacher stays in control

Every phase of the lesson is driven from the teacher's own screen. No student can rush ahead of the class.

Grounded, not guessed

Every AI-generated fact is grounded in trusted sources with citations the teacher can review before the lesson runs.

Safe by default

Every generated scene is checked for age appropriateness before a student ever sees it.

Powered by Gemini

Gemini reads the lesson slides, generates the interactive experience, grounds the content, and helps keep every lesson classroom-safe.

// try the lessons

Three lessons generated with Clascade. I've run two of these with my own class.

Desktop only โ€” these lessons are built for a full-size screen and won't render properly on mobile.
