16.1.2 Constellations
What constellations are, how they map to the curriculum, and how to filter and complete them.
A constellation is a small, themed cluster of related curriculum points — for example a subject and year-stage grouping like "Forces & Motion."
What makes up a constellation
- An evocative name and a short one-sentence theme blurb.
- A set of stars, where each star is one specific curriculum learning goal. These are real curriculum content points — not invented by the AI.
- A constellation is complete when every star inside it has been lit.
Exploring a constellation
- Tap or select a constellation to open its detail sheet.
- The sheet shows the subject, name, theme, the list of stars, and a "% complete" indicator.
- When every star is lit, the sheet shows a "Constellation complete!" state.
Filtering your map
- Choose which subjects appear using the Galaxy subjects settings (your choice is saved per stage).
- Filter by completion state to focus on what's still unlit — or celebrate what you've finished.
First Mission (for new students)
- Brand-new students see a special onboarding constellation called "First Mission" under a "Getting Started" subject.
- Its stars mirror the onboarding steps — choosing a theme, avatar, and badge style, talking to the tutor, and so on.
- This is a guided tutorial, separate from the real curriculum sky.
Why it helps
Constellations break the whole curriculum into bite-sized, themed missions. You can always see how far through a topic you are, and pick the next star that interests you.
