AI STORYBUILDERS – AN AI READINESS PROGRAM FOR CLASSROOMS

Empower the Next Generation of Thinkers, Creators & Leaders

ReTell’s AI Storybuilders Program brings ethical, creative, and hands-on AI learning directly into your classroom. Built around Joseph Campbell’s timeless Hero’s Journey and Dan Harmon’s accessible Story Circle, students learn to co-create original stories using ReTell—our guided, AI-powered storytelling tool.


But this isn’t just about writing.


It’s about learning how to think clearly, direct creatively, and make decisions with intent. Skills that every future-ready student needs.

What Students Will Learn

  • How to collaborate with AI as a creative partner
  • How to structure stories using narrative frameworks
  • How to think critically and ethically about AI’s role
  • How to communicate with clarity—just like a director
  • How to publish and share their original stories with pride

Why Prompting = Real-World Decision-Making

In today’s world, the most valuable skill is clear thinking—and prompting teaches just that.


When students prompt an AI, they’re doing what:


  • A director does when shaping a scene
  • A project manager does when delegating work
  • A designer does when refining user experience
     

This program shows students that prompting is not cheating—it’s leading.
