Read a target truth table and describe it in one sentence
The brief
So far you have been handed a circuit and asked what it does. Real design runs the other way: you are given the behaviour you need and you have to invent the wiring, using as few parts as you can. This studio gives you a target column and a gate budget. Every wire you add changes the table instantly, so you can see how close you are getting.

How it is assessed
3 graded challenges inside the lab, and 7 questions at the end that check the idea rather than the clicks. Every attempt is saved, so a retry after a mistake counts as the learning it is.
