School (K-12)

Real work, safely kept, for students under 18.

Students build real projects. Teachers confirm them. Every Trophy Case stays private by default.

Start a pathSee an example Trophy Case

Sample: what a finished Trophy Case looks like

The cost of doing nothing

Student work disappears at the end of every year.

Projects end up in folders nobody opens.

Grades don't show what a student built.

Public portfolios aren't safe for children.

Keep real work, confirmed and private.

What you get

What changes

  • Teacher-confirmed work

    A teacher or supervisor confirms each project.

  • Private by default

    No public link for anyone under 18, and their work is never sent to an AI.

  • Free paths

    From elementary foundations to high school research, robotics and civic projects.

The plan

How it works

  2. Do the work and post your proofDo the project and post what you made, with help from a parent or teacher if needed.
  3. It gets confirmedA teacher or supervisor confirms it. It goes on your Trophy Case with a seal anyone can check.

Honest proof

  • Proof Seals anyone can check
  • Under-18 Trophy Cases private by default

Questions

Is it free?

Yes. Paths, outcomes, proofs, verification and your Trophy Case are free. The paid Arena, doing this Portfolio with a group and weekly challenges, costs $5 or $12 a month depending on your country. Cancel anytime.

Is it safe for my child?

Trophy Cases of anyone under 18 are private by default and never get a public link. Only the student, followers they approve, and their school for school work can see them. Their work is never sent to an AI.

Who confirms my work?

People who saw it: a teacher, a client, a coach, a manager or a teammate. Some milestones are checked automatically first, against GitHub, a live site, a Google Doc or an official rating, once you link the account. Every confirmation is signed with a Proof Seal.

Can a whole school use it?

Yes. Schools can run a free pilot workspace, and IB schools can run CAS on Powstik. See Powstik for Schools.

Do I keep my proofs?

Yes. They belong to you and stay on your Trophy Case, with a seal anyone can check.

More detail

What is the School Portfolio?

The School Portfolio gathers the Powstik paths and outcomes that fit that goal. You do real work, get it checked, and share one link.

Who is it for?

It is for people who want to build a School record with real work. You pick the paths and outcomes that fit your goal.

What costs money?

Arena, the paid plan with teams and a league, has a monthly price shown on the Join button. Paths, proofs, checks and your Portfolio link have no charge.

How does verification work?

A real person who knows your work signs in and checks each proof. You can never check your own proof. Paying for Arena never skips this check.

How a school proof works

No school proofs yet. Yours can be the first.

  1. Pick something real to do. Choose an outcome from a School path, like a science project or a first website.
  2. Do the work and log it. Add a photo, a link or a short note that shows what you made.
  3. Get it checked. A teacher, a parent or a classmate who saw the work says it is real.
