Finally, a science lesson the whole class wants —
that you don't have to prep or mark.
Arludo turns real science into games your students beg to play, and shows you who's getting it, live — without a worksheet to grade. Works on any device. Free for every student. From a UNSW scientist, used in 1,200 Australian schools.
30 days free · no credit card · school email to start
Get every kid doing real science — even the ones who “hate science”.
You know the feeling of dragging a class through a topic. Arludo flips it. Because thinking like a scientist is how you win the game, even reluctant students lean in — forming hypotheses and testing them without being told to. The engagement isn't a sugar coating on the science. It is the science.
The lesson runs itself. The assessment marks itself.
No installation, no student accounts, no logins — students open a browser and play. As they play, they generate real data, and your dashboard shows you live who's reasoning like a scientist and who's stuck. Assessment you can see at a glance, not a pile to carry home.
Real data. Real working-scientifically.
Students generate and interpret their own class's data, and every game has a worksheet that turns that play into working-scientifically evidence for your program — aligned to the Australian Curriculum (v9) and NSW syllabus. Built on a decade of research; in Arludo's own data, kids apply and self-correct the science, and boys and girls learn equally.
Free for every student, forever.
Every game, challenge, and scientist video is free for every student — no accounts, no ads, no data collected. Students never lose access, ever. What you subscribe to is the Science Portal: topic control, the live dashboard, worksheets, and reports.
