Quick Year 1 mouse & keyboard warm-ups — pointing, clicking, dragging and dropping, and finding keys — before the units begin.

⌨️

Typing Quest Free game

Learn proper touch typing the fun way — from the home keys f & j to full sentences, with a Flow Meter that stops hunt-and-peck. No login, no camera.

🎬

Motion Studio Showcase

Make your own stop-motion animation, frame by frame. A huge library of poseable characters whose arms and legs bend at the joints, plus drawing tools and reshapeable shapes, onion-skin ghosting to guide smooth movement, background music, and video export. No login, no camera.

High School KS3 · first app live

KS3 computing — the same interactive approach for secondary topics. The first activity is live now: How Computers Work (binary, logic gates and the CPU), with more to follow on networks, data representation and text-based programming.

Standout, hands-on tools worth trying first — group-friendly and built for real understanding.

📮

Packet Post Office Showcase

Build a network that never loses the message. Children route “packets” through a network by hand — discovering how the internet splits, addresses and reassembles data, and why it is so reliable. A brilliant group activity.

🎮

Studio — Game Creator Showcase

Draw it, code it, play it. A Scratch-style creator where children design their own pixel sprites, program them with blocks, and run their creation as a real game — the perfect sandbox after Code Quest.

🐭💻

Code Quest Free game

Program Milo through mazes with blocks — loops, conditionals, functions and debugging — then unlock the White Hat Academy to learn what ethical hacking really is. KS2.
