What the video shows
Interviews filmed in a Brooklyn office in March 2026 with the three founders, each named on screen. Archival-style narration over the interviews. A special education teacher walks through her school in Maine, locks a classroom door and points to the floor markings students gather on during a lockdown drill, then speaks seated in a classroom. Shots of an empty school auditorium and a hallway. The founders' sticky-note test bench. The three founders standing together in the office. A closing title card reading 'The Student Dot, now in development' over two people walking through a courtyard.
