How do I prepare my kids for a future we can't predict?
I kept asking: parents, teachers, experts. No good answers.
So I started looking at what won't change. The capabilities that matter no matter what, and will be more important in a world shaped by AI.
I've landed on eight (for now). I'm calling them the New Literacies .
Here's the research, experiments, and products I've explored. You might find something to apply at home.
I'm Mike. Dad of three girls, building products for 45M kids at ClassDojo. More about this project →

What matters when everything else changes?
Each guide goes deep on what we know, how to build the muscle, and what I'm exploring with my own kids.
Doing — Can they start things and finish them?
Thinking — Will they stay curious and think for themselves?
Being — Will they build real relationships and find their path?
