One hour a week turns your class into confident, fast, safe computer users — typing, files, shortcuts, email, spreadsheets, presentations, coding… all the way to the command line.
👀 Just looking? Try every lesson — no account needed
Founding-classroom pilots are invite-only · wiz.kids
Not names. Not emails. Not birthdays. Not from students — and not from teachers either. Not even hashed.
Teachers create a class
and get a short class code, like MAPLE-42
Kids get animal names
BlueTiger42 logs in with a picture password — the paper list matching animals to children stays with the teacher, never with us
Progress follows them
any classroom computer, any day — no accounts to manage, no data to protect
Nothing to consent over. Nothing to breach. Nothing to review.
Designed so you can start this afternoon.
• No third-party trackers, analytics, ad tech, or social embeds — on this page or in the app.
• No external CDNs or fonts at runtime; everything served from wiz.kids (AWS CloudFront).
• Domains to allowlist: wiz.kids and subdomains. Works fully on Chromebooks.
• Student records are pseudonymous seat data (animal name, skill progress). Teachers hold the only roster. Deletion is teacher-initiated and immediate.
• Passwords hashed server-side; teacher accounts recover via one-time printed codes — no email in the system to phish.
Skills unlock like a quest map: 110+ lessons across 18 realms and growing, each taught in-story and tested by doing — in simulated apps where mistakes are safe. Try any of it right now →
Meet the Machine
mouse fluency, right-click, drag, what's inside the box — and taming the school printer
Typing Temple
touch typing from home row to punctuation and speed scrolls
First Spells
copy, cut, paste, undo — then the dancing cursor: whole edits without touching the mouse
The Scriptorium
documents: formatting, fixing in place, find (Ctrl+F!), saving
File Forest
folders, file types, the Downloads mystery — and carrying armfuls with multi-select
The Storyteller's Stage
slides done right: less words, more magic — and you present to finish
Owl Post Office
email done right: reply vs reply-all, forwarding, attachments, spotting fakes
The Oracle
search: asking with the right words, judging who paid for the top spot, researching across pages and tabs
The Portal Halls
a real browser: addresses, links, search, tab juggling and tab hygiene — ads and all
The Hall of Mirrors
fake images, checking claims against a second source, and AI as a helper — never a boss
The Counting House
spreadsheets: formulas, sorting, charts, SUM and AVERAGE, IF — capped by running a real bake-sale ledger
Wizard Safety
secrets stay secret, kindness online, resting the wand
When Magic Breaks
troubleshooting: restart first, read the error, search its exact words — the real fix-it secret
The Wizard's Console
the command line as a treasure hunt — including Tab completion and ↑, the keys that make it fast
The Charm Forge
first programming: blocks, loops — and charms that sense and decide for themselves
The Loom
write real HTML, then link page to page — not a page anymore, a website
The Rune Scribe
draw runes with code — loops make squares, variables make spirals, and named runes are your first functions
The Whisper Circle
group-chat wisdom before the first phone: when to reply, when to mute, and what's carved in stone forever
Every skill is assessed by real performance in the app — the teacher dashboard shows exactly who has mastered what, with evidence.
Create your class
two minutes, no student data entry — ever
Print the roster slips
each child gets an animal name and a picture password
One hour a week
the map, the lessons, and the review queue do the rest
🔮 Spaced repetition, in kid language
Skills fade unless practiced at the right moment — so every session opens with a five-minute "do you still remember…?" that brings each spell back just as it starts to fade. Skills that survive the schedule turn gold: mastered, with the retention to prove it. It's the same evidence-based method behind serious language learning, tuned for a once-a-week classroom.
Stars for doing it, extra stars for doing it efficiently, sparks to spend on charms for their animal familiar. And the rules we hold ourselves to: no purchases of any kind, no leaderboards ranking children, streaks that forgive missed days, and a daily soft cap — because a curriculum that teaches healthy screen habits should practice them.
Wiz Kids needs a physical keyboard and a mouse or trackpad — because that's the skill. School Chromebooks are perfect. Any modern browser works. Tablets get a limited review mode, but the real lessons live where Ctrl+C lives.
Do students need email addresses or accounts?
No. A class code, an animal name, and three secret pictures. That's the entire login — and the entire data footprint.
What about kids without a computer at home?
Nothing requires home access. The full curriculum fits in classroom time; home practice is a bonus lane, never homework.
What happens when a child forgets their password?
The teacher clicks 'reset secret' and hands them a new slip. Ten seconds, no support ticket, progress untouched.
Shared classroom computers?
Designed for exactly that. Progress lives on the server; any child can log in on any machine, and a big friendly button switches wizards.
