What the week actually is

Neurodivergent children are overrepresented in STEM talent and underserved by STEM teaching. This week is built for them first: predictable structure, a written schedule, a quiet room that is always available, and no forced group work.

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
