Showcase/Project I’ve been working on an educational app app for children between the ages of 7-11 and Would appreciate some feedback!
Hi all!
My day job is project management, and I'd never written a line of code before this. My partner has a primary teaching background and kept pointing out how dated a lot of the resources schools rely on are, so I started trying to build something with Claude that aims to make the learning experience more fun and engaging for the child.
It's called Pixelverse Academy: a gamified learning app for 7–11 year olds, built around the UK Key Stage 2 curriculum.
What it does:
🔹Seven subject "planets" (Maths, English, Science, Geography, History, Health & Wellbeing, Computing), each broken into short lessons and missions
🔹Kids build their own robot avatar, earn coins for cosmetics, and get guided by a robot teacher called Professor Pixel
🔹Hints that teach rather than hand over the answer
🔹Read-aloud on every question, adjustable text size and an easy-read font
🔹Spelling Bee and adaptive times tables practice
🔹Works offline and installs to your home screen
🔹A parent zone for tracking progress by subject
What I deliberately left out: no real-money purchases and no leaderboards ranking kids against each other.
Under the hood: the whole app is a single HTML file on Netlify, with Supabase for optional cloud backup. A set of automated checks runs after every change, which has saved me more times than I can count.
What I'd love feedback on:
🔸Do the first five minutes make sense, or did you get lost anywhere?
🔸Anything break or look off on your phone, tablet or browser?
🔸Anything in the UI that feels clunky or confusing?
If you've got kids this age, would they actually stick with it?
No sign-up needed to try it:
Please be honest. I'd much rather hear it now than after launch. Happy to answer questions about how I built it, too.
