How Whyzies teaches it
- The robot maze starts with a single arrow for 4 year olds and builds up to longer plans around walls.
- “Teach the robot” shows how computers learn from lots of examples, and that they can still make mistakes, so we check.
- All the robots and computers games are free.
Try it at home
- Play “robot”: your child gives you step-by-step instructions to walk to the kitchen. Follow them exactly!
- Write the steps for brushing teeth together. Did you miss one?
- Sort the washing or toys by a rule, and let your child guess your rule.
- When you use a voice assistant or AI together, talk about checking whether it’s right.
Questions parents ask

The thinking behind coding (sequences, rules, patterns) can start at 4 with simple games like the robot maze. Typing code usually comes later.

Is it free?
Yes, all four robots and computers games are free, with no ads and no sign-up.
Ready to play?
Free for every family, with no ads and no sign-up. Grown-ups can set time limits and bedtime.
