Discovery Exercises and Tasks
Each week, you will complete one or two **Discovery Exercises and Learning Tasks**, as listed below. Remember, you are in charge of your learning journey. This course is about exposure, exploration and experimentation, not about "doing it right." Your co-participants and Paideia coaches are here to support and encourage you!

**Stretch Activities**
Along the way, you will also encounter a few **Stretch** activities accompanying some of the tasks. Stretch activities are designed to enrich and extend your learning. Everyone is encouraged to try at least some of them, but they are not required. If you are already comfortable with a particular tool or concept, you should definitely complete the Stretch activity!
