Outline to slides
Outline to slides means deciding the sequence of ideas first. AI can format slides in seconds, but only you know what should come second.

Presentations and Video
Anyone can fill slides with words. Explaining something in two minutes is the hard part.

The big idea
Students turn an outline into a visually clear presentation and then a short video, learning that the structure of an explanation matters far more than the decoration on the slide.
Why it matters
Explaining clearly is the most valuable skill in this entire curriculum, and it transfers straight into every school subject.
Unpacked
What you will actually learn
Three core ideas, each taught with worked examples and then practised until it feels obvious.
Visual hierarchy
Visual hierarchy means one idea per slide, a headline that states the point, and images that carry meaning rather than fill space.
AI presenter basics
AI presenter basics cover script pacing, captions and — always — telling your audience the presenter is synthetic.
Did you know?
Slides crammed with text measurably reduce how much an audience remembers, because people cannot read and listen carefully at the same time.
Common mix-up
“Prettier slides mean a better presentation.” The clearest structure wins. Design supports the explanation; it cannot replace it.

Project lab
Two-minute classroom explainer video
Every module ends with something the student built themselves and can demonstrate. This is the piece that goes into their portfolio and gets explained out loud at the end of session 56.
Try this at home
Explain your topic in exactly 120 seconds with no more than five slides. The constraint forces every unnecessary sentence out.
It is finished when
- It works from start to finish without breaking
- You can explain every part of it in your own words
- You tested it and improved at least one thing afterwards
- Someone else used or understood it without your help
