Kidscode

What Kidscode does

Kidscode is a French educational technology company that operates a 3D sandbox-based video game platform designed for children aged 5 to 15. The platform combines curriculum-aligned content across multiple subjects — including science, technology, coding, languages, and humanities — with game mechanics to make learning interactive and self-directed. It serves two primary user groups: schools and educational institutions (B2B), and individual home users, parents, and homeschoolers (B2C). The platform is operated by EvidenceB SAS, headquartered in Paris (19 rue André Del Sarte, 75018), and is currently available in English and French.

The platform is built around several integrated components: a core 3D sandbox environment containing several tens of themed worlds (including Mining World, Sea Life, D-Day, and Coding Schools) and over 500 inventory objects used in construction workshops; a Teacher Dashboard providing student progress tracking, skill assessment, journal monitoring, and in-game classroom management via a "teacher menu"; and Kidsbot, a programmable robot companion that children code to complete objectives inside game worlds. Additional proprietary features include content creation toolsets available to educators through the "Teach the World" program and a Kidsworld option enabling remote shared-server multiplayer for cross-location collaboration. The platform is currently available on Windows and MacOS, with Linux and tablet support announced as upcoming.

Kidscode operates a freemium-to-paid subscription model. Free registration provides access to "Freeland," a set of demonstration worlds. Paid tiers include annual School Subscriptions (per student license, managed by school directors) and Home Subscriptions for individual users, with the Kidsworld add-on available for remote multiplayer sessions; specific pricing is not publicly disclosed. Distribution occurs through direct software download, web-based subscription management, and Google Classroom integration. The company holds a CNIL declaration (No. 2065013 v 0), is GDPR-compliant, and operates a COPPA-compliant child data handling process. The "Teach the World" community program incentivizes educators to create content in exchange for free access and potential yearly classroom subscriptions. No revenue figures, funding rounds, or headcount data are publicly disclosed.

Direct peers

• Code.org: Nonprofit K-12 computer science learning platform with teacher dashboards, progress tracking, and coding curricula. Comparable on the coding education and teacher-facing classroom management dimensions, though Code.org is free and non-3D.
• Minecraft Education: Microsoft's sandbox-based educational platform, the most direct comparable to Kidscode. Both use 3D block-building worlds to teach curriculum-aligned content, classroom management, and cross-curricular skills, and both target K-12 schools as the primary buyer.
• Scratch: MIT's block-based visual programming platform widely used in schools. Comparable as a coding learning platform for the 5-15 age group, though Scratch is free and non-3D while Kidscode wraps similar programming concepts in a commercial 3D sandbox environment.
• Tynker: A coding and STEM learning platform for K-12 that uses game-based, block-based programming environments. Directly comparable on the coding/programming learning dimension (Kidsbot competes with Tynker's coding pathways) and the K-12 school subscription business model.
• Prodigy Education: A gamified, curriculum-aligned K-8 math platform with a freemium model and school/home subscription tiers. Comparable to Kidscode in target customer (K-8 schools and parents), gamified learning approach, freemium-to-paid conversion motion, and English/French market presence.

Broad incumbents

• ClassDojo: A widely adopted K-12 classroom communication and engagement platform with gamification elements. Comparable as a teacher-facing K-12 platform with strong school penetration, though ClassDojo's core product is communication/behavior management rather than 3D sandbox learning.
• Edmodo: A K-12 learning platform offering classroom management, content distribution, and teacher tools. Comparable as a teacher-facing K-12 platform with subscription models, though Edmodo is broader/LMS-oriented rather than 3D-sandbox-focused.
• Kahoot!: A publicly listed, broad K-12 and corporate learning engagement platform. Overlaps with Kidscode as a teacher-led, game-based learning tool deployed at school scale, but Kahoot operates across more subjects/audiences and is primarily assessment/quiz-based rather than sandbox-based.
• Roblox Education: Roblox's K-12 educational initiative offering immersive 3D worlds and game-based learning. Comparable on the 3D sandbox medium and student engagement mechanics, but Roblox is a much larger consumer gaming platform extending into education rather than a purpose-built edtech.

Others

• Boclips: An educational video content marketplace that supplies curated video content to schools and edtech platforms. Adjacent to Kidscode as an enabling content provider rather than a direct competitor; could potentially be a partner for content distribution within the Kidscode ecosystem.
