How to Build

Start with something you wonder about. Build a model, measure what it does, and work out the physics underneath it.

These short classes sit alongside the grade-by-grade curriculum. Each one takes a real engineered system apart, rebuilds a working model of it from paper and household materials, and then does the arithmetic the real engineers had to do.

Class 01 · Space, signals & systems

Build a satellite internet network

How does Starlink work? Measure information in bits, derive orbital speed from gravity, calculate who is in view and for how long, close an energy budget across an eclipse, and find out where the delay really comes from.

Every class starts with a real question

Build it

Give an invisible process a physical form you can change one variable at a time.

Measure it

Predict, run matched trials, record honestly, and keep calculated, measured and assumed values apart.

Derive it

Work out the governing relation, put real numbers in, and state exactly how far the result reaches.
