Things I can do

Not what they've learned. What they can do.

Qiko is organised around capabilities, not subjects, levels or grades. This is the whole Make & Fix map — the six a child gets from Mission 01, and the ones that come after.

Every line is written the way a child would say it, and every one comes with the way they'd prove it. If we can't describe how a seven-year-old demonstrates something, it isn't a capability — it's a marketing word, and it doesn't go on this page.

Foundation

Before anything else — staying safe, knowing the tools, and measuring.

I can set up my workspace and work safely.
Mission 01
How they prove it — Glasses on before the first strike. Board stable. Free hand behind the strike line. Tools back in the tray between jobs.
I can measure and mark exactly where I want.
Mission 01
How they prove it — Marks a given distance within 2mm, from the right end of the ruler, with a mark thin enough to aim at.
I can tell which material is right for the job.
Not yet
How they prove it — Given three materials and a job, picks one and can say why the other two would fail.

Make

Plan it, shape it, join it, test it.

I can drive a screw straight, and I know when to stop.
Mission 01
How they prove it — Screw seated flush — not proud, not sunk past flush. Run a fingernail across it and you shouldn't catch.
Builds on: set up my workspace and work safely
I can hammer safely and accurately.
Mission 01
How they prove it — Nail driven within about 10° of upright, head flush, no strike outside the target, free hand never in the strike path.
Builds on: set up my workspace and work safely · measure and mark exactly where I want
I can find a rough edge and make it smooth.
Mission 01
How they prove it — Finds the rough section by touch with their eyes closed, sands it, and it passes the same eyes-closed test afterwards.
I can cut along a line I marked.
Not yet
How they prove it — Cut follows the marked line within 3mm along its length, with the workpiece held safely throughout.
Builds on: measure and mark exactly where I want · set up my workspace and work safely
I can join two pieces so they stay joined.
Not yet
How they prove it — The joint survives being picked up, carried and shaken. Nothing shifts.
Builds on: drive a screw straight, and I know when to stop · hammer safely and accurately
I can build something from a plan.
Not yet
How they prove it — Finished object matches the plan's dimensions within 5mm and does the job the plan said it would.
Builds on: measure and mark exactly where I want · join two pieces so they stay joined · cut along a line I marked

Fix

Look, work out what's wrong, repair it, check it worked. Not a later level — it turns up in the middle of making.

I can find what's wrong, fix it, and check that I fixed it.
Mission 01
How they prove it — Given a fault nobody has named: notices it, says what's wrong, picks the right tool unprompted, repairs it, and tests the repair without being asked to.
Builds on: drive a screw straight, and I know when to stop · hammer safely and accurately · find a rough edge and make it smooth
I can take something apart and put it back together.
Not yet
How they prove it — It works afterwards, and there are no parts left over.
Builds on: drive a screw straight, and I know when to stop
I can make something work better than it did.
Not yet
How they prove it — Names what was wrong with it, changes one thing, and can show the difference.
Builds on: find what's wrong, fix it, and check that I fixed it

Kids should know how to make things, fix things, grow things and cook things.

We started with make and fix.

Grow

Soil, water, light, patience, and something you can eat at the end.

Cook

Heat, knives, timing, and a meal somebody else is grateful for.

Neither of these exists. There's no waitlist for them and no date — we're not building a second domain until the first one is proven to work on real children.

Be one of the first families.

There is no warehouse and no shipping date. There is a finished design, a plan to hand-build six of them, and six children who will tell us whether it works.

You'll hear from us when the first real run is ready — and you'll hear from us if it never is.

Which one would you want after this?

Optional — it just rides along in the message. Neither exists yet.

Nothing to pay. We'll message you before anything ships.
