Five worlds. Built for curious minds
Arludo is the free STEM platform where kids ages 8–12 experiment like real scientists, meet real scientists, and explore where their curiosity could take them.
Explore: Where science starts
Each Learning Island is a world built around a core scientific concept. Kids work through challenges, run experiments, and test hypotheses. This is all through gameplay that feels like exploration, not instruction. The curriculum is there. Kids just don’t notice it. • Aligned to the Australian Curriculum (Science, Years 3–6) • Progressive: each island unlocks deeper concepts as kids advance • Narrative-driven: students are explorers, not passive learners
Arcade: Where science is hands on
The Arcade is where scientific thinking becomes a game. With over 50 different games that explore different scientific topics such as adaptations, forces, light, and more. Each game is a new experiment for kids to explore. Every game in the Arcade is built on a real scientific method. Winning requires genuine understanding. The arcade also contains Gridstrikers - Arludo’s flagship game that encourages creativity. Create innovative solutions to the game's puzzles that help kids sharpen and diversify their creativity. Works on any device with a browser, which means no installation required for schools.
Videos: Meet real scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs
Every scientist kids learn about is just a name in a textbook. In Arludo, they’re people. Kids meet evolutionary biologists, conservation engineers, game designers, climate scientists — all doing real work. They answer the questions kids actually ask. “Why did you choose this?", "What does a normal day look like?", "Did you always love science?”. Arludo features scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs from diverse backgrounds, disciplines, and career paths. That's because every child should see someone like them doing something extraordinary.
Quests: Applying learning to challenges
The Challenges are Arludo’s flagship learning experiences. Full, structured projects that run over several lessons. Students investigate, design, build, and submit — competing for real prizes. • The Adaptations Challenge • The Game Design Challenge • The Engineering Design Process • The Invertebrate Conservation Challenge All challenges are free. All year levels. All the time.
Careers: See where curiosity leads
The Careers feature does something no other platform does: it builds a picture of what each child might become. Based on what your child plays, what they watch, how they perform, and where they spend time, Arludo maps their interests to real career pathways, and introduces the real scientists and engineers already working in those fields. Not in a distant, abstract way. In a “this person went from loving animals to becoming a conservation biologist” way. Real people. Real paths. Real possibility.
For teachers and schools
Arludo’s web platform works on any device with a browser. Chromebook, laptop, classroom desktop, tablet. If it has a browser, it runs Arludo. No app installation. No student accounts. No emails. No personal data collected. No IT department required. Just open a browser and watch your students become scientists.
