Everything a student needs to become a maker
RoboCode.Africa bundles a professional simulator, guided curriculum, competitive play and child-safe infrastructure into one cohesive platform.
The RoboCode Studio
A professional-grade electronics simulator that runs entirely in the browser — no installs, no drivers, no hardware required.
Visual circuit builder
Drag-and-drop electronic components onto a realistic breadboard. Connect wires, add sensors, motors, LCDs and more with a click.
One-click simulation
Hit Run and watch your circuit behave in real-time. Serial monitor output, LED state changes and sensor readings all update live.
Built-in code editor
Write Arduino C++ or MicroPython with syntax highlighting, auto-complete and inline error hints — all in the browser.
Component library
LEDs, resistors, capacitors, servo motors, DHT22 sensors, OLED displays, buttons, buzzers and growing — accurate, ready-to-wire components.
Serial monitor
Real-time serial output panel lets students debug their sketches just like with a physical board.
Share & remix
Make projects public or school-only. Copy a classmate's circuit as a starting point and build on it.
Simulate real microcontrollers
Our simulator faithfully emulates real microcontrollers, so students master the exact chips they will graduate to using.
Arduino UNO
ATmega328P
The world's most popular beginner board. Students write Arduino C++ sketches for digital/analog I/O, PWM, I2C and SPI.
ESP32
Xtensa LX6 dual-core
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth onboard. Perfect for IoT, home automation and data-logging projects without extra shields.
Raspberry Pi Pico
RP2040
ARM Cortex-M0+ power. Supports MicroPython for AI-on-the-edge experiments and high-speed signal processing.
Guided learning paths
Structured courses that take students from complete beginner to confident maker — aligned with Africa-context STEM outcomes.
Structured courses
Tracks for Robotics, Coding and AI — each broken into bite-sized lessons designed for primary (Grade 4–7) and high school (Grade 8–12) learners.
Beginner → Advanced
Three difficulty tiers ensure every student is challenged at the right level from their very first circuit to complex IoT builds.
Embedded tasks & auto-grading
Each lesson ends with a hands-on task. Our engine auto-checks circuit wiring and code outputs so teachers get instant results.
Progress tracking
Students see their course completion percentage; teachers see a live class dashboard of who's keeping up.
Gamified from day one
RoboPoints, badges, leaderboards and competitions keep students motivated and coming back every day.
RoboPoints
Earn points for completing tasks, lessons, daily streaks and competitions. Points feed an XP level system.
Badges
Unlock digital badges for milestones: First Simulation, 10-Day Streak, Competition Winner and more.
Competitions
Intra-school, inter-school and national competitions with real prizes — hosted entirely on the platform.
Teams
Form school teams, collaborate on shared projects, and compete for team trophies alongside individual glory.
Safe by design
Every feature is designed with the safety of minors front-of-mind. Not bolted on — built in from the start.
Mandatory approvals
Every student account must be approved by a teacher or school admin before access is granted.
Parental consent for minors
Students under 13 trigger an automatic guardian-consent email. Access blocked until consent received.
Moderated chat
Team chat runs through our content filter. Flagged messages are held for review before delivery.
Audit trail
Every action is logged. Platform staff and school admins can inspect any event for compliance.
Data minimisation
We collect only what's needed. No ads, no tracking pixels, no third-party data sharing for minors.
Multi-jurisdictional compliance
Designed to meet COPPA (USA), GDPR-K (EU), POPIA (South Africa) and the Zimbabwe Data Protection Act.
Try every feature — free
Students get full access to the Studio, all beginner courses, and the first competition tier at no cost. Forever.
