What the week actually is

A virtual camp is the right answer for families with no local option, a travel summer, or a child who does better without a room full of people. The kit ships; the build is physical; only the instruction is remote.

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
