How it works

Three steps. Under five minutes.

1

Write

Type commands like step 2, or tap blocks if you're just starting out.

2

Run

Press Run and watch Shelly act out each line, with the current line lit up as she moves.

3

Level up

Collect every starfish, earn up to 3 stars for clean code, and unlock the next level.

Built around four ideas

Fun for kids. Ready for class.

Learn by doing

Code is always visible and editable. Shelly shows the result within a second.

Small wins, steady climb

Each level adds one new idea. Stars reward shorter, cleaner code.

Teacher-ready

Lesson plans, worksheets and answer keys, plus a live view of who's stuck.

Safe by design

No open chat, no ads, and no personal data beyond what a class needs.
