Sensors, motors
and missions
A virtual lab first, so nothing costs anything to break. Physical kits arrive later and run the same programs a child has already written.
Planned Not playable yet. Listed so you can see where Zupelo is going, because an empty room is worse than an honest label.
The robot keeps overshooting the line. What first?
Line follower, speed 90%
One change at a time, or you will not know which one worked.
A sample, not a live game. Pelo hints and cheers — he never chats.
Five stages, three to eighteen
Not five difficulty settings. Each stage changes the reading level, the length of a round, how quickly Pelo offers a hint, and what the whole thing looks like.
Three decisions worth explaining
Virtual first, on purpose
A child who bricks a motor on day one stops. Everything is tested in a simulator that costs nothing to crash.
One change at a time
The lab refuses a second change until the first has been tested. Learning to isolate a variable is most of engineering.
No kit required to start
Everything through the first two stages runs on a screen. Hardware is an upgrade, never a gate.
What a child actually does
We did not build five hundred unrelated games. We built fifteen game types any subject can fill, which is why the twelfth academy costs a fraction of the first.
Sensor sandbox
Wire an input to an output and see what happens.
Mission control
A course, a time limit, and one robot you programmed.
Circuit puzzles
Make it light up using only what is on the bench.
Build it for real
The same program, now running on something you can hold.
Most apps adapt the difficulty. Zupelo adapts everything else too.
The pitch of a question is the easy part. What changes underneath is which skill comes next, how it is explained, when a hint arrives, how long a session runs, and what a wrong answer is taken to mean.
Robotics shares that engine with the other eleven. A day spent on robotics keeps the same streak as a day spent anywhere else, because losing interest in one subject should never cost a child the habit.
How the engine picks🐚 One currency
Shells, earned for finishing and for coming back — never for being right. They cannot be bought and cannot be converted.
🔥 One streak
Any academy keeps it going. Miss a day and a streak save covers it, on every plan including free.
🔒 No leaderboard
There is no global ranking and no public profile. Comparison is with your own last week, or with friends a grown-up approved.
Every child learns differently.
Our AI learns how your child learns.
