Everything for this edition

Ready for a family table.

The complete learner workbook

Four session worksheets, three new transfer exercises and a final investigation template. Print them together or one session at a time. The original first-session warehouse question is included too.

Open the workbook →

The complete parent guide

Setup instructions, expected game observations, worked examples and questions that invite an explanation. These are reference notes, not a grading system.

Open the parent guide →

Two browser investigations

Use Agent Maze for reward rules and Reef Rescue for training examples. A phone or computer works; a larger screen gives more room to compare. The existing games remain free.

Open Atlas Station →

Three new paper challenges

Compare greenhouse watering rules, check a leaf classifier’s missing examples and decide when a museum label helper should ask a person. Each comes with a worked parent reference.

A few practical answers.

What can we use today?

All four session guides, three extra transfer exercises, the complete printable learner workbook and separate parent notes are available in this free trial edition. No email or account is needed. The first session also includes its original warehouse-robot question.

Is the family pack US$19 or free?

This complete trial edition is free. US$19 once per household was our initial price hypothesis for a future paid edition; it is not today’s price or an offer to buy. We have not opened sales, reservations or automatic renewal. There is no confirmed paid release date.

How do we get the materials?

Open a session on a phone or computer, or open the whole workbook and parent guide. Their print buttons use your browser’s print dialog; choose Save as PDF for local files. You may also copy prompts onto paper. No email delivery or account is needed for this edition.

What should a parent do?

Plan to be nearby, help with reading and ask for evidence before showing the reference answers. Sessions are designed for about 20–30 minutes, but your family can pause or split them. Two sessions a week is only a suggested rhythm.

What will my child have at the end?

A paper investigation record with predictions, observations, explanations and a further test. It is something your family creates, not an automatically generated report, score, certificate or proof of mastery.

Do we need every game or a new account?

Sessions 1 and 2 use the existing free Agent Maze and Reef Rescue games. Sessions 3 and 4 use paper prompts and your previous notes. They do not require Signal Forest, a third released mission, an account or a subscription.

Are worksheet answers stored online?

No. The materials have no online answer fields, names or uploads. Keep your notes on paper or in your own local files. Page activity uses the site’s existing analytics, and game progress remains in the browser as described in the Privacy Notice.

What does Get pack updates do?

It opens the optional adult product-update list. Signing up does not buy or reserve anything. Using the free materials does not join that list.

Start with one prediction.

You do not need to finish everything in one sitting. Try the first investigation together, then keep the worksheet for later.

Updates are an optional adult waitlist. They are not a purchase or reservation.
