Description

Lando Coding & Game-Design (Grades 1-3) is an application that powers teacher-led, after-school classes where kids build a series of mini-games every week—turning an after school classroom into a mini game studio.

From maze racers to simple platformers, each session lets them experiment, collaborate, and explore coding concepts—like sequencing, variables, conditionals, and events—while having fun.

Personalized and Engaging Challenges: Our student-facing iPad app delivers tiered prompts and stretch quests, adapting to every student's pace and skill level to ensure everyone feels challenged but never overwhelmed.

Live Feedback Loop: A secure local router (our "Fox Box") collects student engagement data and pushes just-in-time cues to our instructor—providing guidance on opportunities for cultivating grittiness, collaboration, or critical thinking.

Family Feedback: Post-class "Challenge Reports" are emailed to parents showing class photos, the code created by their student in-class, NGSS/ISTE concepts, and dinner-table prompts—fueling comprehension and reflection at home.

Proven Impact: Our WASC-accredited program is in 100+ California campuses and teaches 3,000+ students a week—all while earning an 81 NPS from families
