Open the assignment
See the mission, learning objective, required concepts, reading level, sources, and project length.
Create a story. Inspect the AI. Verify the facts.
Story Studio is the first Splash creation environment: a guided, teacher-controlled workflow designed to turn an AI-assisted story into evidence of AI literacy.
Join the Story Studio PilotA blank prompt box is not the starting point.
Build the idea
Choose characters, setting, style, audience, and learning goals through guided prompts.
Inspect the prompt
See how those choices become structured AI instructions and edit appropriate parts.
Create and revise
Generate the story, edit directly, or ask Splash for focused revisions.
Open the Glass Box
Inspect inputs, sources, process stages, claims, and verification tasks.
Reflect and submit
Explain what AI created, what the student changed, what was verified, and what remained uncertain.

TopicAudienceFormatCharacterRequirementsSources
Students should make meaningful choices after generation.
Edit myself
Direct editing keeps student authorship visible and makes revision a normal part of the workflow.
Ask Splash
Focused options such as “make clearer,” “shorten,” or “explain this fact” model purposeful prompting.
Compare versions
Students can examine how changing one instruction alters tone, structure, detail, or factual emphasis.
EVERY STORY OPENS THE GLASS BOX
The story becomes the evidence.
Students should be able to identify source-backed facts, student-contributed ideas, AI-created narrative elements, and statements that need verification.
YOU
What did the student tell AI?
Create an 8-page Grade 5 science adventure about Maya shrinking down and exploring the inside of a leaf.
Splash separates the student’s choices, teacher requirements, audience, format, and required concepts so students can see how inputs shape outputs.
Assess more than the polished artifact.
Source AwarenessCan the student identify where factual information came from?
AI AwarenessCan the student distinguish AI-created content from student and source content?
VerificationCan the student check a claim against evidence?
PromptingCan the student explain how instructions affected the output?
Critical ThinkingCan the student identify uncertainty, errors, or missing context?
