The Brain Rot Education Guide is a flexible, classroom-ready resource designed to help (homeschooling) parents, teachers and librarians address one of today's most pressing issues: how AI-driven algorithms shape the minds and behaviors of young teens. Aligned with the Brain Rot novel, the guide offers a powerful mix of tech-supported and tech-free activities-structured as ready-to-use lesson plans with printable assessment rubrics, worksheets, and discussion tools.
Each activity empowers students to recognize persuasive technology, decode emotional manipulation, and understand how digital platforms shape attention, identity, and thought. With its engaging, character-led approach, the guide transforms complex topics like AI ethics and algorithmic bias into age-appropriate lessons that stick.
We're already seeing it: profit-driven systems silently rewriting the interior lives of our students. AI doesn't just respond-it reshapes. Invisibly. Systematically.
This guide gives educators the tools to interrupt that drift.
Let's stop calling it screen time. Let's start calling it mind time. And let's help students protect it-with the signal-boosting skills to think critically, act wisely, and stay human in a digital world.
