Education in the Age of AI: We Decided to Give Children Back the Question

WAGZAK RUN is an augmented reality (AR) coloring and classroom app made by CIRCUS COMPANY. On October 31, 2026, we made it free for everyone to use in 51 languages. It was a decision we came to after thinking for a long time about education in the age of AI.

A Child Stops in Front of a Volcano

We made it with a scene like this in mind. A sheet of paper appears on the classroom TV. When a child points a tablet at the paper, lava erupts above it on the screen. Before asking a question, the child looks. Takes a step closer, tilts the tablet to look from the side, and only then asks: Why does it erupt? The teacher doesn't answer right away. Instead, the teacher asks: Why do you think it erupts?

Everything we hoped learning could be is there in those few seconds.

What the Classroom Couldn't Provide

It was nobody's fault. There wasn't enough time, and there were constraints. You can't show a plant's life cycle, which takes weeks, in a single lesson. Fire evacuation and volcanic eruptions are too dangerous to experience, so they get skipped. We can't see inside our bodies or the Earth, so we use pictures instead. Textbooks and videos could only take us so far. There was no room in the classroom for a child to stop and look closely.

There Are Already Plenty of Answers

Ask AI a question and the answer comes right away. Our company has worked with AI since 2025, too. And that made something even clearer. What we wanted to leave with children wasn't an answer. It was the instinct to look closely first, time to get absorbed, and the desire to find out more. That desire rarely comes from an explanation. It comes from a volcano erupting right in front of you. We've seen it happen again and again since we started making augmented reality educational content in 2012. We hope augmented reality can be a place where children begin to discover things for themselves.

Learning that begins with looking, without being told.

So We Made It Free, in 51 Languages

We put 14 years of curricula and experience into WAGZAK RUN, built while supplying content to around 120 public institutions, including the Ministry of Education, KERIS, and EBS. To reach more children, money and language couldn't stand in the way. So we didn't put any content behind a paywall. Educational institutions, individuals, and businesses can all use it, commercially or otherwise. We started with 51 languages and are filling in the parts we haven't translated yet, one by one. We believe good education doesn't have to be expensive.

To Anyone Who Wants to Help

We'd love to hear from anyone who wants to change how we teach. Tell us what the classroom, home, or learning center hasn't been able to provide. We'll plan it together, and we'll make it. We won't charge for it. For now, we've started with the “Grow a Tree” coloring activity and the “Fire Escape Mission” marker. We'll launch WAGZAK Getdu in November. It's a place to choose content, build a curriculum, and learn together with children on the same screen. We're looking for people to try it first. If you see a translation that's awkward or wrong, please tell us that, too. We'll fix it properly.

In the next post, I'll write about opening up learning in classrooms without printers, using AR friends that appear on the floor without paper.

A Note — A Letter to Teachers

I'm leaving our letter to teachers here as it was. I wanted to say the same things to people outside the classroom, too.
