Kids coding & AI · ages 5–12 · iPhone & iPad

Teach a robot to think.

Meet Pix. In eleven worlds of bite-size games, kids steer Pix through mazes, train real machine learning, wire logic gates and type Python that actually runs - one star at a time.

Get Pix to the star. Mind the moon rock!

Try it - no download needed

A program is just a plan you write down first.

That's the very first idea in AI Explorers, and it's the one above. Kids don't drive Pix - they plan the route, press Run, and watch what their instructions really do.

  1. 1Tap arrows to line up a tiny program.
  2. 2Press Run and Pix follows it, step by step.
  3. 3Bumped a rock? That's a bug. Fix the plan and run again.

In the app this grows into loops, conditions, voice commands for the youngest explorers, a daily puzzle and a weekly tournament against robot rivals.

Eleven worlds

From first arrows to how AI really works.

Each world is a ladder of short games with up to three stars apiece. Younger explorers see a gentler ladder; the harder rungs appear as they grow.

Commands

Move, loop, collect

Sequence arrows, then discover repeats. The foundation of every program.

Teach Pix

Train the robot

Bird or fish? Show Pix examples and watch it learn to sort new ones.

Prompt Safari

Tokens & GenAI art

Build prompts from word tiles and see how generative AI reads them.

Python

Real code puzzles

Read real Python, predict what it does, and tap the line with the bug.

Algorithms

Sort, search, route

Swap planets into order, walk trees, and feel why some methods are faster.

Rover RL

Rewards & policy drive

Hand out rewards and watch a rover teach itself the best route.

Vision Quest

Convolutions & boxes

See how a computer finds edges, shapes and objects in a picture.

Cyber Shield

Ethics, ciphers & radar

Crack secret codes and talk through what's fair for an AI to do.

Logic Gates

AND, OR, NOT circuits

Drop gates into a circuit to seal the door before enemies arrive.

Pattern Pals

Spot the rule, guess next

Find the rule and predict what follows - exactly how AI sees patterns.

Data Detectives

Charts, stats & patterns

Read charts, hunt for outliers, and learn what data can and can't tell you.

+ Maker

Build your own levels, circuits and datasets - then share them as a code.

Inside the worlds

Six ways to play before breakfast.

Commands game: a 3 by 3 board with Pix, a moon rock and a star, and arrow buttons below

Guide Pix through the maze

Tap arrows to build a tiny program

Teach Pix game asking whether a goldfish is a bird or a fish

Teach a robot to think

Train Pix with examples

Fix the Bug: four lines of Python where one line moves Pix the wrong way

Fix the bug, ship the code

Read, run and repair real Python

Sort Planets: four numbered planets to swap into order

Think like an algorithm

Sorting, searching, step-by-step logic

Logic Gates mission Flip It: place a NOT gate to seal a door

Wire up logic gates

AND, OR and NOT kids can reason about

Pattern Pals: a repeating row of circles and squares with a missing last shape

Spot the pattern

Find the rule, predict what comes next

Learn with Pix

When the games end, the making begins.

Short lessons with hands-on demos sit next to open spaces where there is no right answer - only things to try.

The actual thing, safely in their hands.

On devices with Apple Intelligence, kids meet real models - all running on the iPhone or iPad itself. Nothing is sent to us or anyone else.

On-device ML

Train Pix

Draw a few examples of two things. Pix learns to tell them apart, and kids see why more examples help.

Off until a grown-up says yes

Ask Pix

A chat about coding, robots and AI. Grown-ups switch it on and can set a daily question limit. Chats are never saved.

Word tiles only

Prompt Safari

Prompts are built from the app's own word tiles - never free text - and turned into real pictures.

Camera, never saved

Real AI Lab

Point the camera at an object and see computer vision guess. Frames are analysed in memory and discarded.

Grows with them

One app, three levels of explorer.

Pick an age band for each child. The syllabus adapts - and the Grown-Up Zone tells you when they're ready for the next one.

5–7

Starter

Gentle ladders, read-aloud missions and voice commands. No reading required to begin.

8–9

Explorer

Loops, sorting, logic gates and first lines of Python, with longer ladders in every world.

10–12

Creator

Every game in every world, typed code in Code Lab, and their own levels in the Maker.

A note for grown-ups

We built it so we never receive anything about your child.

No account. No server of ours. Progress lives on the device and, if you like, in your family's own iCloud.

  • No ads, no analytics, no trackingAnd no third-party code that collects data.
  • Camera and microphone stay on the deviceNo photos, video or audio are saved. Faces are never identified.
  • No strangers, no online leaderboardTournament rivals are robots generated on the device.
  • Purchases and links need a grown-upSo does sharing a Maker creation.

Room to think on the big screen.

On iPad, games show the board and the controls side by side. Progress follows your child between devices through your own iCloud, and a Pix widget keeps an eye on the daily streak.
