Why a week and not two?

Two is better if the family can do it. One week is the minimum that produces a finished thing.

What happens on Friday?

A showcase where each child explains their build to the room, which is the hardest and most valuable hour of the week.

Can we do more than one week?

Yes, the themes are designed not to overlap.
