Turn what they love into something real.
Riculum is where kids take the thing they're obsessed with — dinosaurs, baking, drones, dogs — and build it into a real project that launches in the real world. Guided the whole way by Ace, an AI companion that gets to know them.
Real projects. Real launch dates. Real evidence of learning for your family's records.

How it works
Three steps to something real
Tell Ace what you're into
Ace learns what they love, what tools and places are around them, and who might join in.
Choose your Expedition
Ace proposes real projects that fit their world — each with a named outcome and a Launch Day.
Build weekly. Launch for real.
Short guided sessions, real missions, and a countdown that ends with something actually happening.
Meet Ace
A companion, not a chatbot
Ace onboards them, teaches every session, and is there for anything in between. Ask a question out loud at 9pm, or type it mid-build — Ace answers in context, because it knows the project, the plan, and the person.
Talks and listens
Every question can be asked out loud. Ace answers out loud too — or in text, whichever suits the moment.
Remembers what matters
The dog's name, what discourages them, the win they're proudest of. By week eight, Ace knows them.
Theirs to shape
Rename Ace to anything. Pick the voice. It's their companion, not our product.
What Ace remembers
Has a dog named Biscuit who sits under the desk while she works
Gets discouraged when a first attempt doesn't work — needs a quick win next
Loves having music on while building
Proud of her first $14 sale at the school fete
Transparent by design. Kids and parents can always see everything Ace remembers — and delete any of it. No hidden notes about your child, ever.
Expeditions
Five ways an obsession goes real
Every Expedition has a named outcome and a Launch Day. Ace picks the shape that fits the kid, the interest, and what's actually around them.
Venture
Run a real micro-business.
“Fossil-cast keyrings at the Saturday market”
Workshop
Build something physical that lasts.
“A chicken coop, hens moved in”
Studio
Create and publish for a real audience.
“Episode 1 of a dig-site series”
Mission
Solve a real problem for real people.
“A museum day for the local home-ed group”
Portfolio
Learn how money grows with a real starter portfolio.
“A tracked, reasoned first investment plan”
Real skills
Their own numbers are the textbook
Concepts unlock when the project needs them. Margin and cost of goods land the day of the first sale. Measurement and tool safety arrive when the coop has to stand up. Fair testing shows up when the garden experiment needs a control.

Saturday market — Day 1
Launch Day- Keyrings sold — 7 × $6$42.00
- Filament + findings−$11.30
- Stall fee−$5.00
Nice! See how $42 became $25.70? That gap is your cost of goods — want to see what happens to it if you price at $7?
For parents
The paperwork writes itself
If you're home educating, you already know the hardest part isn't the learning — it's proving it happened. Riculum keeps the record as your child goes, then turns it into a program summary you can actually hand over.
Evidence captured as it happens
Photos, reflections, artefacts and results are saved to a portfolio while your child works — not reconstructed from memory in June.
Coverage you can see
Every session maps to the skills and learning areas it touched, so you can see at a glance what's covered and what's thin.
The Report
Generate a program summary and an evidence dossier at Launch Day — or at any time you need one.
Riculum produces your family's learning records — what your child did, what it covered, and the evidence behind it. Registration requirements differ by state and country; you know your own best.
Safety
Safety isn't a settings page
It's how the product is built. Here's what that means in practice.
Guardians see everything
Every conversation, every session, every memory. Nothing is hidden behind a kid-only account.
Transparent AI memory
What Ace remembers is a visible list — readable and deletable by both the child and their guardian.
No addresses, no school names
Ace is instructed never to record identifying details, health information, or anything asked to be kept private.
Curated creators only
Content that earns XP comes from channels a human has reviewed and approved. No open-ended feed.
Founding families wanted
Be part of the first cohort
We're opening Riculum to a small first group of home-educating families and micro-schools. You'll shape what gets built, and your kids will launch first.
A real person reads every email. No spam, no lock-in.
