For teachers

Ready missions. Clear lessons. Real engineering.

13 missions run today, and up to 16 weeks of them are already sequenced. Assign one, or run one this lesson with no accounts at all.

My classes

Classes are optional. A full mission session runs without one.

Sign in to see your school and classes.

Everything else in MissionLab runs without an account. Signing in only adds your class.

What you do next

Only setting a mission for named students needs a class. Preparing, running and reviewing never do.

Create class

Name a class so you can set missions for the students in it and read the work that comes back.

Create a class

The first step that needs an account. Running a mission never does.

Assign mission

Choose the mission and the grade, set what evidence you want back, and hand out the assignment.

Build an assignment

Works without an account. Setting it for a named class needs one.

Invite students

Issue a join code for a class and hand it to the room. Students choose a nickname, not their legal name.

Create a join code

Needs a class.

Review student work

Read the predictions, evidence choices and decisions your students recorded, against a structured rubric. You assess the reasoning; the product never marks it.

Open the review workspace

Works without an account — open what a student exported.

Mission guides

The mission question, the answer key, what to say at each grade, the misconceptions to watch for and the timings.

Open mission preparation

What a learner sees

Seven stages, the same for every mission. The learner reads the first name; the second is the stage in the curriculum record.

  1. 01 · Mission brief

    Brief the role, the objective, the mission question and what success looks like.

    Curriculum stage: Mission

  2. 02 · What do you think?

    Run the quick check, teach the idea behind it, and have them write a prediction before anything runs.

    Curriculum stage: Preparation

  3. 03 · Prepare

    Learners confirm they are ready, once the prediction is in. The gate is formative and stays on their device.

    Curriculum stage: Readiness

  4. 04 · Run the mission

    They run the mission — the first run, then the comparison where the mission offers one.

    Curriculum stage: Operate

  5. 05 · See results and decide

    They read the results, choose the evidence that matters, decide, and say what it does not prove.

    Curriculum stage: Evidence

  6. 06 · Complete and reflect

    Discuss the result band, support the reflection, and finish the record. Any band can complete.

    Curriculum stage: Complete

  7. 07 · Your record

    Explain what the record is: local practice, not a qualification and not a verified Mission Pass.

    Curriculum stage: Recognition

How a class works, end to end

Six steps, and you can stop after three.

  1. Step 1

    Choose what to teach

    Open the schemes of work

    Take a ready-made programme with a mission for every week, or pick a single mission to run on its own.

  2. Step 2

    Prepare the session

    Open mission preparation

    See the mission question, the answer key, what to say at each grade level, and where the truth boundary sits.

  3. Step 3

    Run it with no accounts at all

    See what learners open

    Learners open the mission, work in pairs and keep everything in their own browser. Nothing is uploaded and nobody signs in. Most classes never need to go past this step.

  4. Step 4

    Create a class, only if you want the evidence

    Create a class

    Set up your school and a class, then hand out a join code. This is the first step that involves accounts, and it is optional.

  5. Step 5

    Publish an assignment to that class

    Build an assignment

    Choose the mission and the grade level, then make it visible to enrolled learners.

  6. Step 6

    Review what learners wrote

    Open the review workspace

    Read the predictions, evidence choices and decisions. You assess the reasoning; the product never awards a grade.

What a class costs you to set up

Steps 1 to 3

No accounts, no installation, no data leaving the room. A full mission session works this way.

Steps 4 to 6

One teacher account and an enrolment code per class. Learners still work locally and choose when to submit.

Never required

Hardware, a paid licence, or an LMS integration. None of the missions depend on any of them.
