Three Parts — Three Years — Fifteen hands-on Units

Each part is one full school year with five hands-on Units. Every year opens with a starter Unit that sets the tone — Growy, Electric Circuits, and Crack the Code — and builds from there. Schools can start with one year and grow into the full three-year programme.

Four Goals in every lesson

Every Do-Lab lesson is built on the same four-goal structure, so teachers have clarity and students have consistency. The Thinking Goal is where the growth mindset lives — read more about the mindset behind the method.

Thinking Goal

Connects to core curriculum — maths, language, vocabulary, scientific thinking.

Mindset lives here
🌱

Learning Goal

Growth mindset in action: perseverance, self-reflection, the courage to try again.

Create Goal

A tangible, hands-on product the child can hold, show, and be proud of.

🔨

Skill Goal

A concrete craft or technique — measuring, sawing, sewing, coding, problem-solving.
