Every child is different. Activities are designed with different levels of support and challenge, giving children opportunities to read and discover, solve and think, create and communicate, and build confidence along the way.
Learning that meets them where they are.
A note about age groups:
The age ranges shown for each Learning Lab are a guide, not a rule. You know your child best, so you're welcome to choose the session you feel is most suitable for their confidence, interests and current stage of learning.
No weekly commitment. Just choose an adventure and join in.
Not your typical online lesson.
Learning Labs are live, one-off online sessions built around a mission, mystery or challenge.
​
Instead of simply being taught a topic, children get stuck in - solving problems, making decisions, investigating clues and completing challenges, with English, maths, science and other skills woven naturally into the experience.
​
There are different ways to take part, so children can contribute at their own level - whether they prefer to talk, type, create, problem-solve or take a little more time to think.
ONE-OFF
Join the Labs that spark their interest.
