Learn tech through games
These games teach how computers and AI genuinely work, by letting you do the thing rather than read about it. You write a real program and watch a robot follow it exactly, you train an AI and see what it learns, you build a password and watch a cracker attack it. Nothing here is a quiz with a game stuck on top.

6 games, all free and playable in your browser with no download.
Each one targets a single idea a school curriculum would spend a lesson on: base-2 counting, sequencing and loops, how a classifier learns from training data and why biased data breaks it, boolean logic, password entropy, and how a screen turns numbers into colour. They suit roughly ages 7 and up, they are free, and they earn Pixels like every other game on the site.

Frequently asked questions
Are these games actually educational?
Yes, and deliberately so. Each one is built around one real concept from computing - binary place value, algorithms and loops, machine learning, boolean logic, password entropy, or RGB colour - and teaches it by making you do it rather than by telling you about it. Robot Route in particular is the same idea as an Hour of Code exercise.
What age are the learning games for?
Roughly seven and up. Binary Blocks and Pixel Painter work for younger children with a bit of help, while Train the Bot and Logic Gates suit older kids and honestly teach most adults something too.
Can these be used in a classroom?
Yes. They run in any browser with no install, no account and no data collection, which is usually what blocks games on school devices. Each game page also explains the concept in writing, so a teacher can set it as a task.
Do the learning games earn Pixels?
Yes, exactly like the arcade and puzzle games - finishing a run earns Pixels, and the first time you complete each one is worth a bonus.
