"How do projects work?"
"A project is one finished thing your kid makes in a studio: a film, a game, a comic, or a robot. Your kid picks one and finishes it, about one a week. Projects have no deadline, and everything your kid makes stays theirs."
A project is one finished thing your kid makes. Not a topic and not a lesson: a short film in Animation Studio, a playable game in Game Studio, a comic in Comic Studio, or a robot in Robotics Studio (in beta). The cover promises one finished thing, and that's what your kid walks away with.
Most projects start on paper. Your kid draws by hand first, then directs the AI to turn the drawing into the film, the game, the comic, or the robot.
One a week
The rhythm is one finished project a week. Your kid picks one, makes it, and finishes it before picking the next.
They can start as many as they like, and plenty of kids have two or three going at once. That's normal. Kubrio's job is to help them finish, not to ration what they start. When your kid opens Kubrio with something already on the go, the home screen shows that first.
Only a finished thing counts. Time spent is not the measure.
The bench
Anything your kid started and hasn't finished sits on their bench, on the home screen, often with the next step named. There are two buttons: Keep making and Put it back.
Put it back clears the project off the bench. Nothing your kid made is lost.
No deadline
A project has no due date. A project your kid started stays open until they finish it, whether that takes one afternoon or a month. There is nothing to fall behind on.
Learn the skill, then make the thing
Each studio has short Learn courses that teach the skill behind a project: how to make a movie, a game, a comic, or a robot. A course ends with something your kid made, and your kid can bring it into the studio.
What your kid keeps
Every film, game, comic, and robot your kid finishes stays in their portfolio, still playable and still shareable. Nothing they made ever leaves. See who can see what my kid makes for who can see what.
Frequently asked questions
My kid has four projects open at once. Is that a problem?
No. Kids start things. What matters is finishing one, and the home screen is built for exactly that: it shows what your kid started before it shows anything new, and **Put it back** clears the ones they have moved on from.
Does a project expire?
No. A project your kid started stays open until they finish it, and everything they finished stays in their portfolio.
Does my kid have to make a set list of projects?
No. Your kid picks what to make in any studio on their plan.
How do I know what my kid has started?
Look at your kid's bench. It sits on their home screen and shows everything they started and haven't finished. Everything they finished is in their portfolio and in your parent dashboard.
