MechSpace vs Kids Games

MechSpace is the AR-powered mechanism design platform for students, robotics teams, and STEM educators. Build real mechanical systems in augmented reality, simulate them with real physics, and export competition-ready code — all from your iPhone or iPad. DESIGN MECHANISMS IN AR Place gears, motors, beams, and connectors on any flat surface. Parts snap together automatically with real connection physics. Build drivetrains, lift arms, intakes, and more with parts from your favorite robotics ecosystem. REAL PHYSICS SIMULATION Run your mechanism and watch it come to life. Simple mode helps you learn the basics. Advanced mode delivers engineering-grade analysis including torque calculations, gear ratio breakdowns, friction modeling, stall diagnostics, and power consumption tracking. SCAN YOUR REAL PARTS Point your camera at VEX parts and MechSpace automatically recognizes them using on-device machine learning. Detected parts are added to your digital inventory so you always know what you have available to build with. EXPORT ROBOT CODE Turn your AR builds into real robot programs. Export C++ or Python code for VEX V5 and VEX IQ. Generated code includes motor configurations, autonomous routines, and gear ratio calculations — ready to run in VEXcode. BUILT FOR LEARNING Track your progress with build streaks, unlock achievements like Gear Master and Code Wizard, and take on timed design challenges. MechSpace makes learning mechanical engineering fun and rewarding. SUPPORTED ECOSYSTEMS - VEX V5 - VEX IQ MechSpace is completely free — all features included, no subscriptions or in-app purchases.

Kids Learn Coding turns real programming into a game your child can win in 30 seconds — no reading required. Your kid drags chunky, colorful blocks (move, jump, repeat) into a sequence, presses Run, and watches a cartoon hero actually carry out their plan. When the hero reaches the goal, confetti flies and stars are earned. That first "I told it what to do and it did it" moment is the whole idea of coding, and here it happens on the very first tap. This is not a coloring book with a "code" label. Underneath the friendly emoji-first world is a genuine block-execution runtime: sequences, loops, jumps, and collision — the same core concepts real programmers use. Kids as young as five can play solo because nothing needs to be read. It is fully offline, completely ad-free, and collects no personal data — the kind of screen time a parent can feel good about handing over. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Drag-and-drop coding — build a program by snapping blocks into a "when start" sequence, then press Run to watch it play out • Learn loops early — the repeat block is in the free levels, so kids meet the one idea that separates real coding from simple tapping • Debug and retry — if the hero misses the goal, tweak the blocks and Run again; fixing your own plan is the best part of learning to code • Earn 1 to 3 stars per level — fewer blocks means more stars, so kids are rewarded for finding smarter, cleaner solutions • Chase badges — milestone unlocks appear on the Progress tab and give your child a concrete next goal to aim for • Watch stars grow — a total score that only ever goes up, so beating an old score feels great • Play three goal types — reach the goal, collect the stars, or jump the gap, each teaching a different way to think • Meet emoji heroes — a cat, frog, rocket, puppy, fish, and dragon star in the puzzles; fully playable offline anytime WHY KIDS LEARN CODING • Built on real computer-science ideas — sequence, loops, and debugging, taught through play instead of lectures • Winnable in seconds, deep for hours — a five-year-old clears level one, while the star challenge keeps older kids optimizing • Zero reading needed — the whole game is emoji and blocks, so pre-readers and early readers play completely on their own • Rewards good thinking, not grinding — the star system celebrates elegant solutions, quietly teaching problem-solving and patience • Grows with your child — start with a single hop and work up to bigger grids and trickier logic puzzles SAFE FOR KIDS, MADE FOR PARENTS • No ads — not a single banner, pop-up, or "watch a video to unlock" ever appears • No data selling and no third-party tracking — your child's play stays on device • No chat, no social, no leaderboards — nothing that exposes a child to strangers • Parental gate — any purchase is protected behind an adult-only challenge, so a child can never buy anything by accident • No push notifications nagging your kid to come back — the fun is the reason to return WHO IT'S FOR • Parents who want screen time that is genuinely educational, private, and calm • Kids ages 5 to 10 who love games and are ready to start thinking like a maker • Families looking for a safe, ad-free STEM game the whole household can trust • Early learners who cannot read long instructions yet but are ready to solve real puzzles Kids Learn Coding is free to start: three full starter levels cover every goal type and the complete block palette, including loops, so your child gets real wins and their first badges before anything is locked. When they finish and want more, an optional one-time family unlock opens five advanced levels and every future pack — decided by you, behind the parental gate, never sold to your kid. Hand your child a game that teaches them to think. Download Kids Learn Coding and watch them build, run, and debug their first programs today.
