Teach kids Arduino without teaching kids C++
Visual blocks. Real boards. 20 lessons that ramp from 'what is an algorithm' to 'build a parking sensor'. Designed for classroom Chromebooks.
One screen, one action
Built ADHD-first: every step is one short paragraph and one button. Kids ship their first blinking LED in under 90 seconds — without an adult sitting next to them.
Real wiring diagrams
Schematic-style wiring per lesson — gold-highlighted signal wire, labeled pins, no cartoon hand-drawings. Kids learn to read a real circuit.
Teacher dashboard
See who is on which step, who has hit the "Ask my teacher" button, who has completed which lesson. No grading needed — the dashboard already knows.
See it run
The editor is the real product. Open it and drag two blocks in — that takes ~30 seconds, no signup wall.
Open ArduinoStudioQuick answers
What age group is this for?
The CHIPS layer ramps K-12. Lesson 1 starts with "what is an algorithm" — usable from age 6 with adult support. Lesson 20 builds a multi-sensor system — usable through high school.
Do students need accounts?
No. Teacher signs up. Teacher gets a class code. Students join with the code and a first name — no email, no password, no parental-consent rabbit hole.
What does it cost for a classroom?
There's a free tier teachers can run a pilot semester on. Paid tiers are for permanent rosters + teacher-dashboard features. Contact us through the form for school-district pricing.
Does this need internet during class?
During the lesson, yes — the editor lives in the browser. The board runs offline once your code is on it, though. We are exploring a fully-offline classroom mode.
What if the school IT locks down USB?
USB-A access is needed for the board. We are exploring a Bluetooth-paired bridge for schools with locked-down USB; ping us if that is your scenario.
