VibeBlocks is an AI Coding Lab where you learn coding with AI by building real projects, from on-screen art and games to Arduino, Micro:bit, and Physical AI hardware, all on your phone. It is built for students, beginners, makers, teachers, coding clubs, and classrooms. Instead of watching passive lessons or accepting the first answer from AI, you learn through a practical loop: describe what you want, read what AI made, test it, and redirect it until it works. Directing AI is the coding literacy of the AI era, and VibeBlocks is built to teach it. Start in Creative Lab Creative Lab is where ideas come to life. Make interactive art, games, visual experiments, and small prototypes by describing what you want to build. AI drafts the first version; the learning starts when you inspect it, run it, compare the result with your intention, and improve it step by step. This is vibe coding for learning Vibe coding is not only for apps and websites. In VibeBlocks, you practice vibe coding across creative coding, game coding, block coding, Arduino, Micro:bit, and Physical AI projects. The goal is not just to generate code. The goal is to understand what changed, why it works, and how to direct AI better next time. Build from screen to hardware Begin with projects on the screen, then move toward real sensors, motors, circuits, and robots. VibeBlocks connects creative coding, STEM learning, and physical computing in one mobile flow, with no PC required. What you can build and practice: - Interactive art and creative coding projects - Games and MakeCode Arcade-style game logic - Block coding for beginners, plus the bridge from blocks to real code - Arduino coding with a built-in circuit simulator - Micro:bit coding on mobile - Sensor, motor, LED, buzzer, and display projects - Physical AI and robotics challenges with motion and behavior - Reading, testing, debugging, and improving AI-generated code How it works: 1. Create: tell AI what you want to make 2. Inspect: read the code, blocks, or behavior AI created 3. Test: run the project on screen or in the simulator 4. Redirect: change the prompt, logic, or settings 5. Build again: improve the result and learn from the process Why VibeBlocks is different: - One app for AI coding, block coding, game coding, Arduino, Micro:bit, and Physical AI - Teaches you to direct AI, not just consume its output - 39 structured courses with 365+ lessons, plus missions and a free creative space for your own ideas - Takes you from first idea to working project without starting from a blank page - Works for classrooms, coding clubs, workshops, and self-study The VibeBlocks team has built hands-on coding education for 9 years, used in classrooms and national programs across Korea, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, and the Middle East. Formerly MAKE, VibeBlocks carries the same learn-by-making DNA into the AI era. FAQ Q. Do I need a PC or a hardware kit? A. No PC and no kit needed — even the Arduino circuit simulator runs right on your phone (an internet connection is required). Real hardware is optional, for when you want to take projects further. Q. Do I need coding experience? A. No. Start with block coding and guided courses; AI explains everything you build along the way. Q. Can schools and clubs use it? A. Yes. VibeBlocks supports classroom, coding club, and workshop use, with structured courses and missions. Download VibeBlocks, tell AI your first idea, and learn to direct it into something real. Your first project takes minutes, not weeks.

Learn Electronics & Arduino takes you from absolute zero to building real Arduino, ESP32 and Raspberry Pi projects: no prior experience and no hardware required. It is electronics for beginners that keeps going long after the basics: try every idea before you buy an Arduino starter kit, or practice with the kit you already have. Everything runs on your phone. Write real Arduino sketches in the built-in code editor and watch them run on an interactive 3D board that reacts live: blink LEDs, read sensors, drive servos and motors, and play tones, all simulated on-device. WHAT YOU GET • Step-by-step lessons that start with basic electronics and grow into complete Arduino projects • Hands-on labs, each with a guided task and a model solution • A built-in Arduino simulator that runs your code instantly: no compiler, no cables • An interactive 3D board you can rotate and explore • A circuit builder Playground to wire up components and experiment • Clear diagrams, quizzes and tips that explain the "why", not just the "how" CIRCUIT SIMULATOR AND PLAYGROUND Drag parts onto a virtual breadboard, wire them up and press Run. Resistors, LEDs, buttons, potentiometers, sensors, servos and motors behave the way they would on your desk, and a wiring check and power budget point out mistakes as you build. ESP32 AND RASPBERRY PI Switch the Playground to an ESP32 board (Pro), shown in 3D with its own pins, PWM, analog inputs, touch and a simulated radio. Or open the Pi Playground: an empty Raspberry Pi that is all yours. Wire parts, write Python, and find your build saved next time. LEARN BY DOING Start with electrons, voltage, current and Ohm's law. Build up through resistors, capacitors, LEDs, breadboards and series and parallel circuits. Then move into the microcontroller: digitalWrite, analogRead, PWM, serial, sensors, servos, motors and encoders. Keep going with IoT, screens and I²C, logic gates and digital electronics, and soldering. TOPICS YOU WILL COVER • Basic electronics: voltage, current, resistance, Ohm's law, voltage dividers, series and parallel circuits • Components: resistors, capacitors, diodes, LEDs and RGB LEDs, transistors, MOSFETs, relays and buzzers • Measuring: how to read a circuit with a multimeter and find what is wrong • Arduino programming: digital and analog pins, PWM, timing, the serial monitor and debugging • Sensors and input: buttons, potentiometers, joysticks, ultrasonic distance and temperature sensors • Motion: servos, DC motors with an H-bridge, stepper motors and encoders • Displays and buses: LCD screens and I²C • Digital electronics: logic gates and how a microcontroller makes decisions • Making it real: breadboard layout, power, and soldering basics PROJECTS, CHALLENGES AND THE FAULT BENCH Follow story projects that turn lessons into things you would actually build, take on daily challenges, and track down broken circuits on the Fault Bench, the fastest way to learn how to debug. SHARE WITH OTHER MAKERS Share the circuits you build, open circuits other makers made, press Run and make them yours. CERTIFICATE (PRO) Pass the exam and earn a certificate anyone can verify with a link, ready for your CV or LinkedIn. FOR EVERYONE Whether you are a complete beginner, a hobbyist, an electrical engineering or physics student, a teacher looking for a hands-on classroom tool, or a maker brushing up the fundamentals, the lessons meet you where you are and grow with you. 10 LANGUAGES Available in English, Turkish, German, Spanish, French, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian and Chinese. Learn Electronics & Arduino Pro unlocks every world, lab and the ESP32 board.
