Mythos and Maps
A home education project for learners who love fantasy, maps, and creating their own worlds
If your learner is always imagining places, drawing maps, or building worlds in games, this project gives them a way to take those ideas further — without needing you to plan it all.
Mythos and Maps is an 8-week, ready-to-use project where your learner designs their own fantasy world while building skills across writing, maths, and more.
About this Project
This project gives your learner a clear structure for building a world from scratch — without locking them into one way of doing it.
Each week introduces a new focus (maps, creatures, systems, stories), while leaving space for your learner to follow their own ideas.
Everything is designed to be flexible, low-pressure, and easy to run at home.
So instead of figuring out what to do next, you can step back and support your learner as they build something that’s genuinely theirs.
What Your Learner Will Do
Over 8 weeks, your learner will:
Create a fantasy world inspired by their interests
Design maps using grids, scale, and spatial thinking
Invent creatures, cultures, and ecosystems
Build systems (magic, trade, communication, rules)
Develop stories, conflicts, and timelines
Plan journeys through their world
Share their world in a format of their choice
The result isn’t one “correct” outcome — it’s a fully personalised world.
