10 New EduGems from September 2026

EduGems is my website where I share my favorite Gemini Gems for schools.

You can access, use, and copy any of the Gems at edugems.ai where I currently have 160 Gems!

Each month I add new Gems to the site. See below for links to the 10 new Gems I added during the month of September 2026, along with a short description for each.

Feel free to share with others and please consider submitting your own Gems to the site.

💎 EduGems - September 2026

Note: Google has announced that Gems will be transitioning to Skills.  Over the next few months I will be converting all of the EduGems on this site to Skills. Everyone will continue to be able to use all of the prompts on this site as Gems (through this school year), as Skills (going forward), and always as copyable prompts that can be used anywhere. I will also continue to add many more prompts to the site.
