About this Project

Mythos and Maps invites children to think like storytellers, artists, and explorers. Over eight weeks, your learner will imagine an entire fantasy world from the ground up - shaping its landscapes, life, systems, and stories.

Along the way, they’ll develop creative writing, geography, and design skills while exploring how world-building can spark curiosity and big-picture thinking.

This project is designed to align with Upper Key Stage 2 learning aims and to be flexible and neuro-affirming, supporting children who thrive on imaginative, hands-on learning.

What Your Learner Will Do

Over the 8 weeks, your learner will:

  • Step through the “portal” into a world of their own imagination.

  • Create detailed maps of lands, biomes, and hidden places.

  • Invent creatures, cultures, and communities that bring the world to life.

  • Design systems that keep their world running - trade, communication, rules, or magic.

  • Develop challenges and conflicts that make their stories interesting.

  • Map out a story journey through their world.

  • Reflect, celebrate, and showcase their finished creation.

Whether your child loves fantasy, storytelling, gaming, or creative design, Mythos and Maps gives them the tools to dream big and build something extraordinary.
