Learning paths that grow with your students
A learning path is a complete program: a sequence of courses ordered from easier to harder, so a class always knows what comes next. These three paths are available in English.
Most courses follow the same three-stage arc, and each path closes with a capstone project. Competition courses are organized around missions on a contest field instead.
Step 1
Explore
Short guided lessons introduce one idea at a time, with hands-on practice in every lesson.
Step 2
Design
Students combine what they learned to design something larger, test it and improve it.
Step 3
Invent
The course ends with a project students choose and build themselves, then share.
