Course bundles
Several lessons combined into a complete project. Bundles open lesson by lesson as they're released.
All 7 bundlesIndependence includes knowing when to get help.
Every lesson ends with something you do, explain, or decide. You pick how it's explained — diagrams, a talk-through, hands-on, or small steps — and switch any time. The skill and its checks stay the same.
Watching or passing a quiz isn't proof of a physical skill, so real work is recorded separately — by you or an observer. Adults start straight away; younger learners follow readiness and supervision.
