Subject Domains

From math to philosophy, real research crosses disciplines

How it works

A four-phase inquiry journey,guided end to end

From defining a problem to defending your work, the AI Coach prompts, guides, and scaffolds each pivotal decision. It never writes for you or gives answers away.

S0

Discovery & Questioning

Move from a rough curiosity to a researchable question. The AI Coach asks; you find the answers.

S1

Planning & Research Design

Clarify methods, timeline, and sources. The AI Coach prompts every important decision without writing a word for you.

S2

Execution & Data Collection

Run the investigation, record each step, and collect real data. The AI Coach stays alongside you as scaffolding, never a substitute.

S3

Finalisation & Defense

Write your report, organise process evidence, and prepare for defense. Here the AI Coach takes a step back: the work is yours.

How it works

Traditional Classroom vs LearnPBL

What changes when an AI Coach guides every step

Traditional Classroom

LearnPBL

No clear starting point — students stall before they begin
AI Socratic questions launch every project with structured inquiry
Unstructured inquiry produces incomplete projects
Four phases with gates — no skipping, no shortcuts
Teachers cannot scale personalised feedback
AI Coach guides every student at every decision point
Research outcomes are scattered with no complete record
Evidence Dossier auto-compiled across all four phases
Academic integrity is difficult to monitor
Integrity review built in, aligned to CREST secondary-award criteria
No direct path to recognised credentials
9 international programs mapped — from CREST Awards and EPQ to IB EE and ISEF

Evidence Dossier

Three routes to recognition

Earn globally recognised academic awards — by meeting a standard, not beating a ranking

Criteria-based recognition that proves your work meets an international benchmark

Non-competitive academic recognition programs. Meet the stated standard and the corresponding honour is recognised — no ranking against other students required.

CREST Awards — the international gold standard for PBL assessment

CREST Awards (Bronze · Silver · Gold) are the most widely used PBL assessment benchmark in school STEM. Top universities and admissions officers recognise the standard.

Turn research into course credit — make your work part of your transcript

Aligned to internationally recognised curriculum frameworks

Academic core frameworks embedded in formal school curricula. Research outputs can often count toward course credit, examination scores, or diploma extensions — not external rankings.

IB Extended Essay · AP Capstone · PQ (HPQ / EPQ)

Your research project becomes part of your formal academic record. Universities see a structured, assessed thinking process — not just an extracurricular activity.

Explore curricula

Step onto a global stage — alongside the world's strongest student researchers

Selective competitions where rank is the result and originality is the threshold

Highly selective competitions assess the originality of the research question, methodological rigour, integrity of the evidence chain, and professionalism of the presentation.

ISEF · Regeneron STS · Yau Science Awards · ICW · John Locke Essay Competition

Top placements are widely recognised by global admissions committees, research laboratories, and scholarship panels.

Student Stories

What students say

“I had no idea how to start a research project. The AI Coach asked the right questions at every stage, and I finished with a report I was genuinely proud of.”
G11G11 student, international school in Beijing
“The four-phase structure stopped me rushing straight into experiments. Planning first made the execution stage much smoother.”
G10G10 student, Shanghai after-school programme
“My students used to get stuck at the research-question stage. With LearnPBL, they move forward with confidence: the coach scaffolds the work without giving answers.”
STScience teacher, international school in Shenzhen
