Simulate, don't animate.
Hands-on tools for teaching how things work
Simulations students can take apart, and the classroom tooling teachers need to assign and review them. Nothing here is a scripted animation: each tool models the real thing and lets the behaviour fall out, so a student who pokes at it gets a real answer back.
The labs are open to signed-in accounts. Pick one below and it opens as soon as you are in.

How the labs teach
A working model, not a recording
Every lab runs the real rules underneath: a circuit solver, a network stack, a living cell. What a student sees is what the model does, never a scripted animation.
Change it and see what happens
Students move a setting, break something on purpose or build their own version, and the result is worked out on the spot. Curiosity gets a real answer.
Made for school computers
Everything runs in the browser with nothing to install, on the integrated graphics most classrooms have, in English and Spanish.
