Pettigrew LabWhat’s here

Some things are genuinely worth understanding and almost never explained well. This is where we put those. It started because I wanted my own kids to learn this stuff without being bored out of their minds, so everything here is built to be played with rather than read at.

Those pills down there are ideas I haven’t built yet. Pop one to ask for it.

How it’s taught

How it’s taught

  • Short, and you finish it

    Lessons run about five minutes. You leave each one able to say the idea out loud.

  • You try it before it gets a name

    Drag the line, move the slider, break the thing. The vocabulary comes after you have already done it.

  • Built for a table, not a lecture hall

    Every module ends with a question to ask someone else. That works for a teenager and a grandparent the same way.

The next ones get built the same way: pick something people find hard, find the version of it you can play with, and write it so a curious teenager and a curious adult can take the same lesson.
