Documentation Catalog

All Maqueen Lab pages, sorted by audience. Pick the right entry point so a 10-year-old isn't dumped in the engineer schematic, and a teacher isn't hunting for the printable journal.

🧑‍🚀 For Kids 👨‍🏫 For Teachers / Parents 📚 Reference (Everyone)

🧑‍🚀 For Kids

Pages a child opens directly. Friendly tone, big buttons, illustrated mascot, age-10+ vocabulary. No engineer jargon.

👨‍🏫 For Teachers / Parents

Pages for the grown-up running the workshop. Lesson plans, prep checklists, classroom logistics, prompts to give kids, what to do when things go wrong.

📚 Reference (Everyone)

Engineering and lookup pages. Use them when you need a specific answer — not as a starting point. Curious kids and engineer-minded adults both end up here.
