Curriculum

13 modules, from first prompt to working agent

A skill tree, not a playlist. Core modules unlock branching paths — building, critical thinking, and a capstone where students design their own assistant. Two reading modes (Explorer 11–13, Pro 14+) cover the whole age range.

The skill tree

The journey, tier by tier

Every row is a tier. Core modules (amber) form the spine everyone follows; thinker modules (mint) branch off for critical thinking and AI in creative work; builder modules group with core for the technical track. The capstone sits at the top, unlocked once the branches below it are complete.

Reading modes

Explorer and Pro — same skills, same missions

Every lesson is written twice. Explorer (ages 11–13) uses plain words and short sentences. Pro (14+) covers the same ground with full technical depth. Switch any time — the underlying mission and checks stay identical, so progress carries across.

Explorer · ages 11–13

Plain words, short sentences, the same missions.

Pro · ages 14+

Full technical depth, identical skills and checks.

How long it takes

≈ 74 lessons across 13 modules · 28–32 hours including missions and the capstone project. Fully self-paced — most students spread this over a school term or two.
