Logic Lodge: Coding for Kids

Logic Lodge is a beaver's workshop at the edge of a Pacific Northwest pond. Chip the beaver needs a junior coder: your child. Your child tells Chip what to do with picture blocks (forward, turn, pick up, put down), and Chip walks the map, carries logs, builds dams and heads home to his lodge. Every workshop your child finishes earns Chip a new piece of gear.

Logic Lodge teaches children aged 6 to 12 how coders think, one small step at a time, with no reading of code needed. Eight workshops: sequences, debugging, loops, conditionals, loops that check, functions, variables, and logic and data. Each new idea is met on a card that is read aloud, with a tiny program running beside it, a real-life example and a fun fact. Then your child uses it: build a program, predict where Chip will stop, find the bug, fix it, or make a long program shorter. Every workshop ends with a little picture book, read aloud.

REAL CODING, CHECKED
- 36 real coding ideas, from command and sequence to loops, if else, while, functions, variables, Boolean logic, binary and sorting
- Every idea checked for accuracy, in words a child knows
- 200 grid puzzles, every one proven solvable by the game's own solver, with three stars for solving it with the fewest blocks
- Nothing is asked before it has been taught: every answer is said to your child first

THE CLUBHOUSE
- A new Daily Puzzle every day, with a streak to keep
- Free Build: draw your own map and program Chip around it
- Pattern Lab, the Sorting Yard, Binary Lanterns and Truth Gates
- Pioneer Stories: true stories of Ada Lovelace, Alan Turing, Grace Hopper, the 1947 moth, Katherine Johnson and Margaret Hamilton

LEARNS WITH YOUR CHILD
- A spaced-practice engine keeps track of every idea and puzzle, brings back the shaky ones and moves on from the strong ones
- A failed run is never punished: debugging is part of coding
- Footprints show the way when your child is stuck, then one way to do it
- Every word the narrator says is also on the screen

LOTS OF ENCOURAGEMENT
- Spoken praise, streaks, stars, stickers, medals, tool-belt badges and a trophy shelf
- The Blueprint wall: all 36 ideas, lighting up as your child masters them
- A girl or boy junior coder in five skin tones, so every child can pick the one that looks like them, with a matching narrator voice and six colors to choose from
- Up to three players on one device, each with their own progress

FOR GROWN-UPS
- A grown-ups area (behind a math question) shows each workshop's progress and what is worth practicing next
- Narrator, music and sound volumes, and a reset for each player

SAFE FOR CHILDREN
- No ads, ever. No accounts, no sign-in, no chat, no links out
- No data is collected: progress and an optional first name stay on this device only
- Works fully offline
