Inside the app
The station above is the real thing — and it is one of 6. Inside the app your child plays the whole trail — every station is something they touch, drag and try, each one earns a checkmark, finishing the trail awards an Explorer badge, and the Practice Zone builds a fresh set of questions every visit. Progress is saved to their player, so they can stop and pick it up later.
What your child does, station by station
Learning mode has no timers, no scores and no wrong answers — every station is something the child touches and moves. This trail is one of the free ones, so it opens on any account.
