What should a 13-year-old be learning?
At age 13, 35 topics open up across Science, Mathematics, Computing, Personal & Social Development, History. Each one has prerequisites that come first, so the order matters more than the list: Mars Missions and the Search for Life is a typical starting point.
How do I know what a 13-year-old already knows?
LightMySky starts by assuming everything below the learner’s level is already known, then checks the assumption as they practise. What holds up stays lit; what does not comes back for review.
