About
Discover Glimmers
Why we built this, what we believe about how children develop, and where we have deliberately drawn lines.
What we believe
Four things that shape everything else
Capability is built by practice, not explanation
Children can define teamwork long before they can hold a group together. The gap between those two is not closed by more explaining, and most of education is explaining.
AI is not optional for this generation
Children will use these tools whatever anyone decides. The useful question is whether their first sustained experience of AI is built for them or borrowed from adults.
Marks measure something real, but not everything
We are not against examinations. We are against the assumption that what they measure is the whole of what a child needs.
Children are owed privacy too
A child who knows an adult reads everything stops writing honestly. We have built for that, which sometimes means giving parents less visibility than they would like.
How we operate
What we will and will not do
Including why several parts of this site are visibly unfinished.
We publish our policies rather than sending them on request
Child safety, responsible AI, privacy and parent consent are all readable now, before you give us anything.
We do not make claims we cannot evidence
You will not find student numbers, school counts or outcome statistics on this site until they are real and verified. Their absence is deliberate.
Testimonials are permissioned
Nothing appears from a family or school without their agreement, which is why there are none here yet.
We say when something is not ready
Several sections of this site are visibly incomplete because the information behind them is not confirmed. That is preferable to filling them in.
Questions
Questions about Glimmers
Who is behind Glimmers?
Team and advisory details will be published on this page. Until they are, we would rather leave the section empty than describe ourselves vaguely.
Where is Glimmers based?
Glimmers operates in India. Support is reachable through the support page.
Is Glimmers a school, a tuition provider, or an app?
None of those. It is a set of capabilities delivered three ways: an app for everyday practice, Labs for applied work, and the AIQ Challenge for demonstrating it.
How do you make money?
Through Lab enrolments and AIQ Challenge registrations. Fees will be published on those pages once confirmed.
How do you handle children's data?
The Privacy Policy sets this out in full, including what we collect, why, how long we keep it, and how to have it deleted.
See how it works in practice
The app, Labs and the AIQ Challenge are where all of this actually happens.
