Getting started
Learners and families
How do I start a lesson?
Open the learner home, pick a mode or the next objective, finish one short activity, then check the curriculum map.
Families and educators
How do the five stages work?
WonderMind changes vocabulary, safety, layout, and available tools across Sprout, Explorer, Builder, Navigator, and Pioneer.
Parents and guardians
How do I create a family account?
A parent or guardian signs up with email, accepts the child-privacy consent, then adds a first-name learner profile with a four-digit PIN.
Anyone evaluating WonderMind
How does the live demo work?
The published demo family is always available: Jamie Rivera as parent, Ms. Ortega as teacher, and five learners with fixed PINs.
Learners
What is on the learner home?
The home screen is a stage-aware launchpad: modes, practice tools, the next objective, workshops, and progress.
Learning
Learners, parents, and educators
What is a learning objective?
An objective is one specific AI-literacy skill with a Bloom level, prerequisites, a recommended activity, and a way to show evidence.
Learners and educators
How does mastery work?
Objectives move from introduced to practiced to mastered. Mastery needs practice plus completed prerequisites.
Learners
Why did the Guide change format?
The curriculum picks conversation, cards, prompting, projects, challenges, or interviews from the current objective — not from a random mood.
Builders and teachers
How are projects evaluated?
Project templates include deliverables and a rubric for quality, evidence, safety, and learner agency.
Learners and co-pilots
How do I use the curriculum map?
The map is the syllabus: every objective on your path, its content bundle, and buttons to mark introduced, practiced, or mastered.
Learners and educators
What are the session phases?
A structured session moves through check-in, review, new idea, practice, synthesis, and a bridge to the next objective.
Tools
All stages
How do I use Quiz Me?
Quiz Me is a four-question multiple-choice check on any AI topic. It works from the home screen or inside a chat session.
Explorers and above
How do I use Prompt Lab?
Write a prompt, run it, change one thing, and compare versions. The lab scores whether you included context, constraints, and an example.
Navigators, Pioneers, and teachers
How does the Exam Simulator work?
Navigator and Pioneer learners get a five-question timed exam. Answers stay on the server until you finish.
Builders and above
How do I use Essay Coach?
Paste a draft, get structured feedback, and keep revisions. Essay Coach unlocks at Builder on paid plans.
Builders and above
How do I use Code Lab?
Code Lab is an in-browser editor with a live preview. You can save a snapshot to WonderVault.
Navigators and Pioneers
How does Career Explorer work?
Navigator and Pioneer learners answer four expert-interview prompts. The server stores the answers and scores.
Learners and parents
What is WonderVault?
WonderVault is the learner's archive: sessions, quizzes, essays, projects, interviews, and saved code.
Safety
Every learner
What should never be shared with the Guide?
Do not share an address, school name, phone number, password, health detail, or someone else's private secret.
Teens, independent learners, and parents
What is Privacy Lockbox?
For Navigator and Pioneer learners, sensitive academic-struggle notes stay out of parent Vault results and wellbeing cards.
Families
How are AI answers checked?
Inputs and outputs pass a stage-aware filter. Younger stages buffer the full reply before it appears on screen.
Families and educators
What happens if a learner is in crisis?
WonderMind answers with care, drops the lesson, and points to a trusted adult or professional help. It is not a therapist.
Learners and parents
Why won't WonderMind do the homework?
The product teaches AI literacy. It will help you outline, critique, and research — not generate work to submit as your own.
Anyone
How do I report a safety issue?
Learners tap Need a grown-up? in the kid workspace. Grown-ups can still email safety@wondermind.app. In an emergency, call local services first.
Parents
Parents and guardians
How do parent controls work?
From a child's report you can set time limits, hidden subjects, exploration access, sensitive-topic alerts, and Co-pilot mode.
Parents
What appears in parent reports?
Reports show minutes, focus topics, quiz evidence, mastery, badges, and parent nudges — never lockboxed transcripts.
Parents and guardians
How do I delete a learner's data?
Open the child's Controls tab, type their name to confirm, and delete the profile. Related learning data is removed with it.
Parents
How do daily time limits work?
Parents set a minute budget. Chat, quizzes, exams, and labs check it on the server before they start.
Parents
Can I preview the next stage?
Yes. From Controls you can move one stage forward or back from the age default, then switch back in one click.
Parents and younger learners
What is Co-pilot mode?
Co-pilot mode puts the curriculum map in reach so a grown-up and learner can work the same objective together.
Accounts
Families
How does kid PIN login work?
Find the family by the grown-up's email, tap an avatar, and enter the four-digit PIN. The server checks the hash.
Teens and adults
Can an older learner have their own account?
Yes. People 16+ can create an independent account. Age 16–18 lands in Navigator; 18+ lands in Pioneer.
Parents, educators, and independent learners
How do magic links work?
From the grown-up sign-in tab, ask for a one-time link. It signs you in and marks the email verified.
Account holders
How do I reset a password?
Use Forgot password on the grown-up login tab. The reset link expires in an hour and signs out every other session.
Parents and educators
How do I verify my email?
New parent and educator accounts get a verification link. The parent dashboard shows a banner until it is confirmed.
Parents, educators, and independent learners
Can I sign in with Google, Facebook, or Apple?
Only when a real identity provider is connected. Child PIN profiles never use social login. Unconfigured buttons are hidden — they never sign you into the published demo family.
Parents and educators
How do I sign out other devices?
Parents have a Sign out other sessions control. It keeps this browser signed in and invalidates every other JWT on the account.
Classrooms
Teachers and learners
How do learners join a classroom?
Teachers share a six-character code. Learners open Classroom on their home screen and type it.
Educators
What can educators see?
Names, stages, mastery counts, stars, and assignments. Not Privacy Lockbox conversations or parent wellbeing notes.
Educators and Family-plan parents
How do I create a classroom?
Sign in as an educator or a Family-plan parent, open Classrooms, and name the room. A join code is generated for you.
Educators and learners
How do classroom assignments work?
A teacher publishes a title, instructions, and optional objective. Learners see it on their Classroom page and do the work in the matching tool.
Educators
How do I export classroom results?
Classroom owners can download an xAPI-style JSON file of mastery and quiz scores for each member.
Privacy
Parents and independent learners
How do I export a learner's data?
Parents and learners can download a JSON archive from Controls or WonderVault. Export is a rights request — it works on Free. Classroom xAPI dumps stay on classroom-capable plans.
Families
What data does WonderMind store?
Grown-up email and name, a child's first name and avatar, learning artifacts, hashed PINs, and optional anonymous analytics.
Parents and operators
How does WonderMind approach COPPA and GDPR-K?
The product is designed around parental consent, data minimization, PIN login, and in-product export and deletion. Those are design choices. They are not a finished legal program, and this site does not claim 'COPPA-first' as a compliance badge.
Billing
Account holders
Is checkout live?
Not on this evaluation site. Plan changes apply immediately with no charge so you can try paid tools. They have no monetary value until a payment processor is connected.
Anyone choosing a plan
What does each plan include?
Free is the essentials. Premium is one serious learner. Family is four profiles plus classrooms. Pioneer Pro is independent 16+. Classroom is for teachers.
Account holders
How do I change or cancel a plan?
Use the plan cards on the parent dashboard. Downgrading to Free is immediate. Paid Stripe customers can also open the billing portal.
Educators and administrators
How do school and institution pilots work?
Email educators@wondermind.app. Classroom features exist in the product; roster sync, LTI, and SSO still need a contract.
