My kid's school project made me rethink grid areas
He was trying to make a poster about the solar system and got stuck trying to line up the planets. I showed him how to name grid areas for each one, and he said 'so it's like giving each planet its own room?' That clicked for me more than any tutorial. How do you explain grid-template-areas to someone totally new?

That's a great way to think about it, but I'd say it's more like assigning each planet its own parking space on a map. The 'room' idea is close, but grid areas are really about specific, fixed coordinates. That visual of a map or a blueprint finally made it stick for me.
