For parents and students

Real projects your child will want to finish.

From play-based Early Years to three levels: Explorer, Investigator and Researcher. Every project works on paper or on screen, and the workbooks are free.

Programs by age

From playgroup to research in a niche.

Start where your learners are. Pre-school, Early Years and Primary continue exactly as before. From about age 7, learners also follow EAD’s three levels, with one way of working: measure, change one thing, measure again, explain.

Early Years · Ages 3–8

The EAD path

Three levels. One direction: authority in a niche.

This is not a coding class or a STEM kit. At every level a learner works on real problems with the same method, and every level ends in a formal assessment — so progress is earned, not attended.

The EAD path, step by step Pre-school and Early Years for ages 3 to 8, then Explorer from about 7, Investigator from about 11 and Researcher from about 14. A level assessment sits between each level. The path leads to authority in a niche. Level assessment Portfolio of 3+ projects, a defence, each project marked out of 20 Pre-school Ages 3–8 · play first Explorer from about 7 Measure before you change anything Investigator from about 11 Cost a real problem, test it, defend it Researcher from about 14 A body of work and a network in one niche Authority in a niche People in that industry ask for your view Recognised by others, built one measured project at a time
Level 1 · from about 7

Explorer

Does
Short, safe tests at home or school: notice a problem, measure it, make one improvement.
Assessed on
A clear question, a safe test, simple evidence, and explaining what happened.
Achieves
An Explorer certificate, and the habit of measuring before changing anything.
Level 2 · from about 11

Investigator

Does
Real industry problems: reliable sources, a measured baseline, costs and one controlled change.
Assessed on
Credible evidence, data and costs, a tested recommendation, and ten people in a relations ledger across the portfolio.
Achieves
An Investigator certificate, and the ability to cost a problem, run a fair test and defend the result.
Level 3 · from about 14

Researcher

Does
Many projects in one niche: advanced research, AI agents and automation with human checks, lasting relationships.
Assessed on
A complex niche problem, advanced data, responsible AI use, a business case and a defended, measurable solution.
Achieves
A Researcher certificate, a body of work in one niche, and a network that knows it.
Beyond the levels

Authority in a niche

People in that industry start asking for the learner’s view. Authority is recognised by others, never claimed, and built one measured project at a time.

The ten-year vision →

The same assessment rules at every level: at least three finished projects (five recommended) · a portfolio review · a defence of selected projects · each project marked out of 20 · certified only when the criteria are met. Free project feedback and finishing a semester never award a certificate on their own. How assessment works →

Built for work that AI is changing

AI is changing which tasks people are paid for. What keeps its value is what EAD practises at every level:

  • Finding the problem worth solving, not only answering the question set
  • Proving a change worked, with numbers someone else can check
  • Using AI agents as tools for research and automation, with a person checking every output
  • Trust and relationships inside one industry

EAD Little Labs · Below Grade 5

Before the big labs, the fun ones.

Children under Grade 5 are not ready for a ten-step research project — and they should not be. Little Labs gives them short, regular projects that are genuinely fun to do and quietly build the mind the big labs will need later: noticing, asking, guessing, testing, explaining.

Same loop as the big labs — just child-sized.

Every Little Lab runs the same five moves an EAD Labs project runs. That is the whole point: by Grade 5, the habit is already there and the only thing that changes is the size of the problem.

AskSay out loud what you don't know.

Students who can teach it back.

Grade 3–5 students run real projects — and finish by explaining project management, data analysis, and solution design as the teacher. Watch their real online sessions below. Every mission is fully scripted, because it has to work in real classrooms with real teaching loads.

Students become the teacher

Missions end with students recording themselves explaining project management and data analysis — proof of understanding no test can show.

How a student actually uses this

Not a course to enrol in. A shelf of real problems to pick from — three or four a year, alongside whatever school already asks of them.

1Pick a world you are curious aboutTwelve to choose from. Curiosity is a good enough reason — this is the discovery phase.
2Run the free starter projectTen steps, each written out in full — what to do, what to write down, how to know it is finished, and the mistake most people make. No teacher required.
3Do three or four a year, in different worldsBy Grade 8 a student has honestly tried most of the twelve — and knows which one they return to.
4Then go deep in the one that stuckThat is the Researcher level, in EAD Impact Innovators: depth in a single niche, human certification, a mentor and a network.

Schools: ask your students for three to four projects in the coming year. Curriculum mapping to SNC/PCTB, Cambridge and KHDA is inside the page, along with the assessment template.
