Learn to code with Beep & Pixel!
Hello! I’m Beep, a friendly robot, and this is my best friend Pixel, a cat made of tiny squares. We’d love to show you how computers think, how to give them instructions, and how to make your own games, drawings and inventions.
Everything here is free. There’s nothing to sign up for. Just pick something fun and start!
Pick a track
Six adventures to choose from. Each one has 10 lessons that build on each other. Start wherever you like!
Unplugged
No computer needed! Games and activities that show how coding works, using paper, cups, crayons and your own brain.
Ages 6+ · 10 lessons · Start lesson 1 →
Block Coding
Snap coloured blocks together to make things move, talk and dance. The perfect first step into coding.
Ages 6+ · 10 lessons · Start lesson 1 →
Python for Kids
Type real code! Draw with a turtle, ask questions, roll dice and build tiny programs in Python.
Ages 8+ · 10 lessons · Start lesson 1 →
Making Games
Learn how games work, from rules and scores to levels and lives, then design and code your own.
Ages 8+ · 10 lessons · Start lesson 1 →
Robots & Electronics
Sensors, motors, lights and circuits: how robots notice the world and decide what to do.
Ages 7+ · 10 lessons · Start lesson 1 →
How Computers Work
Binary, pixels, memory and the internet. Peek inside the machine and see how it really works.
Ages 8+ · 10 lessons · Start lesson 1 →
Brain-tickling challenges
Thousands of puzzles, and every single one has its own answer page. No peeking until you’ve tried!
What Comes Next?
Spot the pattern and work out what comes next. Patterns are how coders find shortcuts.
Debug the Robot
Beep’s programs have a bug. Find the mistake and fix it so Beep reaches the battery.
Turtle Challenges
Read the Python turtle code and predict the picture. Then run it and see if you were right!
Pixel Puzzles
Colour the squares by number to reveal a hidden picture, just like a computer stores images.
Python Puzzlers
Read a short Python program and work out exactly what it prints. Then check your thinking with a step-by-step trace table.
Print and play
Mazes, colouring pages, binary decoders and pixel art sheets to print at home or school.
Art made with code
Fractals, turtle spirals, pixel pals and giant mazes, all drawn by computer programs.
