Start with “what if?”
Explore characters, sketch a sequence and shape a story together.
School pilot · In preparation
A little imagination. A room full of possibilities.
We’re shaping a space for storymaking, creative play and learning together — with teachers in the lead.
Plan a school pilotStart with your class. No account needed.
ONE IDEA CAN GO A LONG WAY
A character. A question.
A brilliant “what if?”
Draw it. Build the story.
Give everyone a part.
Show the class.
See where it goes next.
The idea
A story can become a storyboard. A science question can become a scene. A quiet idea can become something the whole group builds on.
Classrooms is being designed around shared activities and a teacher’s judgement. The first pilot will help us find what is useful in a real lesson, on the devices a school already has.
These are proposed pilot activities. The school setup and available tools will be confirmed before a pilot begins.
Explore characters, sketch a sequence and shape a story together.
Use group roles, prompts and shared making to invite different contributions.
Try a creative response to a topic, then talk about what the class discovered.
The proposed school setup
The direction is local: classroom activities running on a school device, with access through the school’s own network.
We’ll check that approach with each pilot school. Device compatibility, network access, storage and any optional tools need to be validated before use.
This website is an online introduction. It is separate from the proposed offline classroom system. The offline build is not offered for download here.
PROPOSED PILOT DESIGN
A shared screen, group devices
or individual devices — let’s check what fits.
Help shape the first pilot
A few practical choices. A starting point for a conversation.
Make a planning note for your school. It’s an outline to discuss, not a booking or a confirmed installation.

A few useful answers
We’re preparing the first school pilot. This page helps you outline a possible session; it does not register a school, reserve a place or provide an installer. Pilot availability and the technical setup still need to be confirmed.
That is not a promise we can make yet. The proposed design is to run classroom activities locally. We need to verify the actual build, device behaviour, network settings and any optional services before describing exactly where data goes. Those details must be agreed with the school before a pilot.
This public website is online. The planning choices you make here stay in the page unless you choose to download or print them.
The starting point is teacher-led creativity and collaboration. AI is an optional area to investigate for the pilot, not an implemented feature offered on this page. Any such tool would need its own review of suitability, device requirements and data handling before use.
The proposed pilot does not call for public pupil profiles, real-face photographs or an open social feed. We’ll agree what, if any, identifiers and class work are needed with the school before a pilot starts. Please do not enter pupil information into this planner.
They have different purposes. CastMe Classrooms is the hosted performance and drama product. Classrooms.ie is the proposed broader school learning system, with a local school setup. An account or class on one should not be assumed to carry over to the other.
The pilot is being shaped in Ireland. Interest from schools elsewhere is welcome as the programme develops, but we have not confirmed country-specific availability, curriculum alignment or compliance. We would need to establish those requirements together.
