For a school project, make a three-generation family tree: the student, their parents, and grandparents. Add names, a photo and one fact each, choose a clean template, then print it or share a link. FamBranch does this free in about ten minutes.

Simple enough for kids, polished enough for a grade

Students just type names and drag to connect relatives — FamBranch keeps the layout neat automatically. Add a photo and a fun fact to each person, pick the Minimal or Storybook template, and the project looks great with almost no effort.
