Co-branded Curriculum

Build a K-12 course with Hello World in the technology your company knows best, then put it in schools at no cost to them. Cybersecurity, app development, AI, virtual reality, career readiness: students learn it by building, and the course that teaches it is made possible by your brand's mission.

Co-branded Curriculum
Why a co-branded curriculum

The technology your company knows best, taught in the classes students already take

Talk to our partnerships team

Every technology company has something it wishes students learned earlier. Security companies want students who recognize a phishing attempt before the first password is reused. Cloud and software companies want students who have shipped an app. Hardware and XR companies want students who have built in virtual reality, not just watched it. Schools want to teach all of it and rarely have the curriculum, the trained teachers, or the budget.

A co-branded curriculum closes that gap. Hello World writes the course with your subject matter experts, aligns it to state standards, trains the teachers, and offers it to schools at no cost. Digital literacy is what Hello World does, so anything technical is a natural fit, and students learn it the way they learn everything on our platform: by building something.

How it works

From subject to classroom

1
Scope

We agree on the subject, grade bands, and whether this is a full course or a unit inside an existing one. Your subject matter experts and our curriculum team meet.

2
Build

Hello World writes the course: lessons, projects, teacher guide, assessments, and standards alignment. You review for accuracy at set checkpoints.

3
Pilot

A cohort of schools runs the course first. Teachers are trained, students build, and we revise from what we learn.

4
Release and report

The course opens to every school in Hello World's network at no cost. You receive adoption reporting and student project highlights as it spreads.

Subjects

If it is digital, we can teach it

Hello World builds digital literacy curriculum, so any technology subject is in range. These are the areas we build in today. Each becomes a course or unit where students learn the content and then build with it. If your subject is adjacent, such as financial literacy taught through building a budgeting app, it is a conversation, not a no.

What ships

Everything a school needs to teach it on day one

Standards-aligned lessons

Sequenced lessons mapped to state standards so districts can adopt without a curriculum review from scratch.

Student projects

Every unit ends in something students build, tied to the technology and to a real career.

Teacher guide and PD

Lesson-by-lesson guidance plus professional development, because most teachers have never taught your subject.

Assessments

Checks for understanding and a final project rubric, so schools can report learning and you can report impact.

Career connections

The roles behind the subject, including yours, surfaced inside the course rather than in a separate assembly.

Made possible by

Your company credited on the course and its page as the sponsor that made it free. Recognition, not advertising. Districts adopt it because it is good.

Frequently asked questions

How much say do we have in the content?

You shape the subject and review for accuracy. Hello World owns the pedagogy: how it is taught, how it is sequenced, and how students are assessed. That separation is what lets districts adopt the course with confidence, which is what makes it worth sponsoring.

Is this advertising to students?

No. Your company is credited as the sponsor that made the course possible, on the course and its materials, the way a foundation is recognized on a museum wing. There is no product placement and no marketing inside lessons. Schools would not adopt it otherwise.

Who owns the curriculum?

Hello World owns and maintains the course so it stays current and keeps meeting standards. Your sponsorship is recognized for the life of the course. Specifics are set in the sponsorship agreement.

How is this different from the Regional Workforce Readiness Initiative?

That program funds Hello World's existing curriculum for a district or region. This one builds a new course with you. Many sponsors do both: fund the region, then add a co-branded course inside it.

Does it have to be a technology subject?

Technology is where Hello World is strongest, so that is the best fit. Adjacent subjects can work when students learn them by building: financial literacy through a budgeting app, for example. Either way, students build something, which is what makes a Hello World course different from a packet of worksheets.
