KindEd is a K–12 social media and AI literacy program that helps students build self-awareness, critical thinking, and healthier digital habits. KindEd focuses on how tech design and use influence identity, behavior, relationships, and mental health. Students engage with real-world scenarios, reflect on their habits, and work together to create shared norms around device and platform use. Teachers facilitate the process, while student voices drive the learning, making lessons more relevant and meaningful. The curriculum is inquiry-based, student-centered, and accessible across literacy levels—and is available in both a physical format and an adaptive digital platform. KindEd’s digital platform uses natural language processing to personalize content and prompt deeper thinking.

KindEd defines social media broadly to include any app designed to hold attention or influence behavior, including content, gaming, and shopping platforms. KindEd combines emotional learning and behavioral science to help students understand how digital environments shape what they feel and do. This is especially needed in under-resourced communities, where students often spend more time online and face higher mental health risks with fewer supports. KindEd partners with schools, families, and educators to help students build healthier habits and make more intentional choices online.
