Real numbers from our students

MYTEK Lab measures student satisfaction at the end of every assignment, in every course we run. The numbers below are pooled from every voluntary response across our current courses, with no filtering or curation. We share them so families can choose us with their eyes open.

Why we publish these numbers

After every assignment, our students answer three quick questions about whether they had fun, found it challenging, and want more lessons like it. The totals above include every single response, from every learner, every course, every year, with no filtering and no cherry-picking.

We publish them because choosing a tech program is a real decision for a homeschool family. You deserve honest results, including the parts where students struggled, over hand-picked highlights.

These numbers refresh every week. What you're reading is what we're seeing right now, not what we wish we'd seen.

Why we don't aim for 100% fun

The instinctive response to "87% had fun" is: what about the 13%?

Some of those students genuinely didn't enjoy a specific assignment, which is real signal we use to refine lessons. But a meaningful share of the 13% is students who struggled with a hard problem, not students who didn't like the program. Struggle is part of how learning works. We put learning first, which means students sometimes hit lessons that are challenging, not just fun. A week of wrestling with a JavaScript bug or a 3D model isn't always enjoyable in the moment. It's exactly when growth happens.

We could push the number higher by making everything easy. We don't, because that would shortchange the learning. Eighty-seven percent of students saying "yes, that was fun," including the ones who struggled through hard parts, is the right shape for a real program. A program reporting 100% fun would be telling you something different.

This course is in its first cohort. The course-level numbers above pool every response so far (230 submissions). Per-lesson rates need a few more cycles to be statistically stable, so we're showing the course-level signal here and will populate lesson-level highlights as more students complete the program.
