New to coding
- Block Lab, Worlds 1 to 3: sequences, loops, variables.
- Quest Lab: rebuild two favourite missions in real Scratch.
- Editor: make something of your own and save it.
A mission control for learning
Logicnaut is a family of small, focused labs where a curious kid learns one big idea at a time: how to break a problem into steps, how to test an answer, how to make a robot behave. Every lab checks the work, keeps hints free, never takes stars away, and keeps progress on the device.
Code and robotics
Block Lab · scratch.logicnaut.dev
Seven worlds and 46 missions, from “walk to the star” to FizzBuzz, factorial, and a five point star. Blocks use the real Scratch names and colours, Jarvis acts out every program, and the checker explains exactly what happened.
Quest Lab · quest.logicnaut.dev
The full Scratch editor with a quest panel beside it. Build the mission with every block Scratch has, press Check, and the real Scratch engine runs it and grades what the sprite actually did.
Editor · editor.logicnaut.dev
Nothing to pass, nothing checked. Make a game, a story, or an animation. The project saves on this device every few seconds and can be saved as a file that opens on scratch.mit.edu.
PID Lab · pid.logicnaut.dev
A simulated BaseBot whose motors are not twins, so it drifts. Read the gyro, find the error, and steer it back: first with an if, then P, I, and D. Every mission is checked on several robots and has an “In VEXcode IQ” card.
PI Lab · pi.logicnaut.dev · private, password
One real VEXcode IQ program, a P drive and a PI turn, built up in fourteen small levels: the gyro number, error, P, the error bucket, loop speed, and the stop window. The last levels run the learner's own blocks on a simulated robot.
Logicnaut CS · cs.logicnaut.dev
32 guided C++ missions across ten sectors, with prediction puzzles, bug fixes, and code completion. A Practice Lab compiles real C++20 in an isolated sandbox when a signed in learner presses Run.
Math and the world
Logicnaut Math · math.logicnaut.dev
Nine units, 21 modules, and 110 skill destinations, with original playable missions on ratios, rates, proportions, percents, and simple interest. Each day: warm up, see it, try it, teach it back.
Foundations · foundations.logicnaut.dev
Sixteen visual game quests for a learner who can already calculate and needs to see why: multiplication and division meaning, US money, time, and geometry. Wrong answers reveal free strategy clues.
MapSprint USA · usa.logicnaut.dev
Find the state, spell its name, spell its capital. Seven stages from warm up to a mixed test, with region filters, pinch zoom for the small states, and a voice that says and spells each word.
Where to start
Private by design. Progress lives in the browser on the device. Children never get accounts, email, or ads. The only cloud account is an optional guardian account in Logicnaut CS.
Encouraging by default. Hints are free, stars only go up, and there are no rankings, loot boxes, or streak loss. A wrong answer is a “not yet”, with a reason.
Honest checking. Every lab runs the work and reports what happened, in plain words a nine year old can act on.
Built to transfer. Block names match Scratch, robot blocks match VEXcode IQ, and the C++ is real C++.
