Not app-tapping. Real teardowns, real circuits, real data security, taught with devices retired from our own certified recycling stream. Start free: the first three activities of every unit are open to everyone, forever.
No credit card to start. Free activities need no payment details.
Eight units per course. Six activities per unit. Predictable for students, easy for parents to follow.
The hook video, the core concept read, and a quick check. Every student can taste every unit of every course without paying a cent.
The interactive virtual lab, the deep dive, and the unit challenge. This is where the doing happens — and where certificates and Tech Rank badges are earned.
Every course maps to real, published K-12 computer science and digital-learning standards — the same frameworks schools already use to evaluate curriculum. The short codes on each course card below (e.g. CSTA 2-CS, ISTE 1.5) point to the specific standard that course is built around.
Seven learner competencies — Empowered Learner, Digital Citizen, Knowledge Constructor, Innovative Designer, Computational Thinker, Creative Communicator, and Global Collaborator. Our courses are tagged with the specific competency each one develops.
Grade-banded computer science concepts and practices (Level 1B for grades 3–5, Level 2 for grades 6–8, Level 3A for grades 9–10). Our band split mirrors these grade bands, and each course is tagged with the CSTA concept area it draws from (e.g. Computing Systems, Networks & the Internet, Algorithms & Programming).
This mapping is a curriculum-design reference, not a formal ISTE or CSTA certification — DigiLabs is not endorsed by, or affiliated with, ISTE or CSTA.
Every one of Course 4's 8 units gets its own interactive: click through a process diagram or play a decision game built from that unit's real content. Pick a unit below.
The ITAD Industry & Careers
Click any glowing stage on the circle to see what happens there — and who does that job.
Wonder first. Animated videos, picture guides and printables, written for a grown-up to join in. Suggested for ages 8 and up.
A gentle, screen-and-paper adventure into the machines all around us. No tools required.
How electricity, circuits and simple code turn a pile of parts into something that thinks.
One path, in order. Level 2 opens up what's inside the technology you use every day; Level 3 is the industry vocabulary and the job skills employers recognise. Take them in sequence whatever your age — Level 2 assumes nothing beyond curiosity.
Virtually take apart real laptops, phones, tablets and consoles. Learn what's copper, gold, hazardous.
Where retired technology actually goes, why data destruction matters, and how a Certificate of Destruction works.
The data centers behind every prompt: the hardware, the energy, the materials, and where it ends up.
NIST 800-88 sanitization, chain of custody, and the compliance paperwork real businesses depend on.
Terminal, GPIO and Python labs, building to a real capstone. Every lab has a free simulator path.
Diagnose, grade, repair and refurbish devices to resale standard — a real refurbishment bench.
Finish a course and a verification-coded certificate generates automatically — formal enough for a high schooler's portfolio or college application.
Finish courses to rank up — Apprentice, Technician, Specialist, Expert, Master Builder — with a collectible achievement badge for every course along the way. The digital badge lands in the portal instantly; the physical version is 3D-printed from recycled filament, because a virgin-plastic badge from an e-waste company would miss the point.
Pay once for the grade band you need, or get everything. Plans differ only on how much you unlock — never on lesson quality.
