How We're Using AI to Power Values-Led Classrooms

At Reboot the Future, we believe that the classrooms of today shape the world of tomorrow.

That’s why we’re building something bold: Reboot AI in Education, an intelligent platform designed to help educators access high-quality, values-driven learning resources more easily and meaningfully than ever before.

Thanks to our participation in the Tech to the Rescue AI Bootcamp and our continued journey with the Lenovo AI for Social Impact Lab, we’ve been able to explore how technology can help us scale our impact, without compromising on what matters most: empathy, sustainability, and connection.

Teachers want to talk about climate change, empathy, and what it means to be a good human, but they rarely have the time.

We hear this again and again from our community of over 6,000 monthly UK educators. The pressure of delivering the core curriculum, managing large classrooms, and limited hours in the school day often means that crucial topics like sustainability, compassion, and global citizenship fall by the wayside.

At Reboot the Future, we want to change that.

We’re a small charity with a big mission: helping educators inspire the next generation to create a more compassionate and sustainable world. But doing that at scale, with limited capacity, has been a growing challenge. So we’re turning to technology, not to replace the human connection at the heart of education, but to support it.

Our current platform holds over 1,200 resources, but it takes time and care to maintain. Links break, content ages, and it’s hard for teachers to know what’s relevant, especially when they only have a few minutes to prepare.

With AI, we can:

• Cut the time teachers spend searching for resources
• Ensure everything is up-to-date and aligned with their classroom needs
• Make space for the conversations they want to have, about sustainability, kindness, and the future

All of this is being designed with sustainability and ethics in mind, using serverless, energy-efficient infrastructure that reflects our values.

We’re currently working with our tech partners, Opencast, to bring this platform to life, starting with a smart backend system that automates content curation. In future phases, we’ll launch an intuitive interface where teachers can ask questions in natural language, receive dynamic suggestions, and access the right resources in just a few clicks.

This platform is more than a tech upgrade, it’s a statement of what’s possible when a small team with a strong mission uses innovation for good.

Our long-term ambition is to take this platform global, offering resources in multiple languages, and supporting schools in every corner of the world. With AI as our ally, we hope to grow our library by over 20,000 new resources in the next year, while deepening our impact and staying true to our values.

If you’re an educator, a technologist, or just someone who believes in a better future, we’d love to have you with us on this journey.

Let’s reboot education, with heart, with purpose, and with the power of good technology.
