Homeschool Discovery Lab
A first introduction to building, fixing and understanding how everyday things work through age-appropriate tools and hands-on projects. Students develop confidence using hand tools, measuring, assembling, designing and solving simple real-world problems.
Eight modules. One skill at a time.
Three skill weeks and one build, challenge, assessment or showcase week per module — FOUNDATIONS, BUILD, POWER, FLOW, FIX, TECH, DESIGN, then the MASTER BUILD capstone. Select a module to open its weeks.
