How it works

A four-phase inquiry journey,guided end to end

From defining a problem to defending your work, the AI Coach prompts, guides, and scaffolds each pivotal decision. It never writes for you or gives answers away.

S0

Discovery & Questioning

Move from a rough curiosity to a researchable question. The AI Coach asks; you find the answers.

S1

Planning & Research Design

Clarify methods, timeline, and sources. The AI Coach prompts every important decision without writing a word for you.

S2

Execution & Data Collection

Run the investigation, record each step, and collect real data. The AI Coach stays alongside you as scaffolding, never a substitute.

S3

Finalisation & Defense

Write your report, organise process evidence, and prepare for defense. Here the AI Coach takes a step back: the work is yours.

How it works

Traditional Classroom vs LearnPBL

What changes when an AI Coach guides every step

Traditional Classroom

LearnPBL

No clear starting point — students stall before they begin
AI Socratic questions launch every project with structured inquiry
Unstructured inquiry produces incomplete projects
Four phases with gates — no skipping, no shortcuts
Teachers cannot scale personalised feedback
AI Coach guides every student at every decision point
Research outcomes are scattered with no complete record
Evidence Dossier auto-compiled across all four phases
Academic integrity is difficult to monitor
Integrity checks provide supporting signals, not an official determination
External programme eligibility and credentials are decided by their organizers
13 standards are registered; only CREST Bronze has a complete formal scoring workflow today

Evidence Dossier

Organize project evidence for review

Organize research evidence against published criteria

External assessment and recognition are decided by the issuing organization

Student Stories

What students say

“I had no idea how to start a research project. The AI Coach asked the right questions at every stage, and I finished with a report I was genuinely proud of.”
G11G11 student, international school in Beijing
“The four-phase structure stopped me rushing straight into experiments. Planning first made the execution stage much smoother.”
G10G10 student, Shanghai after-school programme
“My students used to get stuck at the research-question stage. With LearnPBL, they move forward with confidence: the coach scaffolds the work without giving answers.”
