Piloting PhysiCode with AWWA School Singapore.
Why it works
Built on research. Not vibes.
Typical EdTech optimises for entertainment. We optimise for results, anchored in three evidence-based principles.

Principle 01
Structure improves focus
PhysiCode replaces the open-ended screen with a finite set of physical commands: a clear beginning, a clear end, and one decision at a time. Predictable physical patterns reduce cognitive overhead and free attention for the learning itself.
Drawing on education research, Lancaster University (2025–2026) [2]
Principle 02
Tangible beats screen-only
Hands-on manipulation builds deeper transfer than equivalent screen-based tasks, especially in STEM, which is why PhysiCode is blocks first and screens last.
Drawing on published findings, International Journal of Elementary Education [3]
Principle 03
Targeted understanding leads to mastery
Mission Cards give each session one focused, achievable goal. When a tool matches how a learner thinks, mastery follows, not the other way around.
Drawing on educational research, 2025–2026 [4]
The scale of the gap
1 in 5
An estimated 1 in 5 students in mainstream classrooms is neurodivergent. [5]
15,000+
More than 15,000 students are enrolled in Singapore’s special education schools. [5]
370M · 75M · 700M
Globally: an estimated 370 million people live with ADHD, 75 million with autism, and 700 million with dyslexia. [5]
The WEF Future of Jobs Report 2025 puts analytical thinking, creative thinking and technological literacy at the top of the skills that matter next. [1]
What we track in pilots
Sustained focus time, sequence completion, and retries without giving up, observed session by session, reported back to schools.
