WeWillWrite platform launches at SXSW EDU to introduce collaborative writing in schools
WeWillWrite, a Norway-based edtech platform, launched at SXSW EDU 2025 with the goal of making writing a collaborative process in classrooms.
The platform introduces structured, game-based writing challenges designed to engage students in storytelling while supporting teachers in developing participation.
WeWillWrite has already been adopted by 1 million students and 50,000 teachers, with 95% of users based in the United States.
Designed to support classroom learning
The platform offers short writing activities that encourage peer interaction and feedback, moving away from traditional methods that often make writing an individual task.
WeWillWrite uses a combination of short writing challenges and structured collaboration to encourage participation. Students engage in timed writing tasks that last between two and five minutes. These tasks can include creating a story, responding to a writing prompt, or refining a piece of text. The platform incorporates elements of peer feedback and friendly competition to maintain engagement.
The writing challenges are designed to provide a structured framework while allowing flexibility for creativity. Students can review and build on each other’s ideas, with the aim of helping them develop confidence in their writing skills. The platform also includes moderation tools that allow teachers to oversee activity and ensure a safe environment for students.
Founder of WeWillWrite Daniel Senn said "We built WeWillWrite to help teachers create a writing environment where every student can thrive, regardless of their learning style. It’s not just about writing; it’s about making the process enjoyable for everyone."
The platform does not rely on AI-generated content, focusing instead on student creativity.
Senn previously created Poio, a reading app that was later acquired by Kahoot!. His work in EdTech has been influenced by his experience as a parent, after seeing his two sons struggle with traditional learning methods. He developed WeWillWrite as a tool to support students in building confidence in their writing skills.
