What the week actually is

Grades K-5 are where a child decides whether they are a science person. That decision is made on evidence they can see — a build that worked, a prediction that came true — and this week is engineered to produce those moments.

Day by day

  1. Pick the problem and write the prediction
  2. First build, first failure
  3. Diagnose what actually went wrong
  4. Rebuild and test against the prediction
  5. Showcase: explain it to the room
