The Message · who it is for, what it says, where it goes · in The Engine Room · Business & Entrepreneurship
8 weeks of The Engine Room · Business & Entrepreneurship: Who's it for · The message · The channels · The content engine · The spend …
The weeks are the course’s own, read from the lab; the catalog pads the last weeks with the capstone and the floor so the course fills a whole term.

The squares are a picture of a course — how much of each core subject its own rooms carry, read from the rooms’ text — never a score of a student. Every course in a lab is graded to the core across the board; the squares say which columns it feeds most.

THE PROJECT · WHAT THE QUARTER IS FOR
The assignments · weeks 1–9
The question. What does The Message ask you to be able to do by week 8?
The make. Every week's assignment and the quiz as practice: Who's it for · The message · The channels · The content engine …
The evidence. Handed in through The Message inside The Engine Room · Business & Entrepreneurship, kept in My Work; the Report reads it from there.
A course is a quarter, a semester or a year — nine, eighteen or thirty-six weeks — a project a quarter. Offered as the year, a semester or a quarter, it is the same course seen through a window. A lab is a family: its year, each of its tracks as a course, and its rooms. The evidence is what a student hands in through the room; the Report reads it from there. Nothing in the catalog is a grade.
