Make a game, a robot, a song. In the next minute.

82 of the 129 making apps on the platform, each ready to try in a browser tab. Each one opens on something already built, so a student starts by changing it, not staring at a blank screen, and each comes with a page for the adult: what they are learning, a class activity, and how to tell it landed.

Who makes this

mytekDev is built by MYTEK Lab, a technology education organization that teaches students in grades 3 to 12 through live online classes, for homeschoolers, charter schools and learning programs in 24 countries. These are the same tools its students use in class. More than 17,000 projects have been made on the platform so far.

Common questions

Do I need an account to use these?

No. Every tool listed here opens in your browser and runs immediately, and your work is kept in the browser tab while you experiment. An account is what makes a project survive closing the tab, and what lets a class share work with each other.

Are these free? What is the catch?

The tools are free to use, with or without an account, and a free account keeps everything a student makes. Paid plans add more storage, more public shares a day, project history and no watermark on shared work, with family and classroom bundles; every plan, including the free one, has every app. The pricing page lists exactly what each includes.

What devices do they work on?

Any computer or Chromebook with a current browser, and nothing to install. Most are easier with a mouse. The 3D tools need a computer with 3D graphics, which almost every one made in the last several years has. A few work on a tablet, and phone screens are too small for most of them.

Is it safe for my child?

There are no ads, no tracking and no selling of data, and the platform follows the children's privacy law (COPPA). A student's work is private unless they or their teacher choose to share it, there is no private messaging, and younger students appear by username only. The privacy policy has the details.

Can I see what my child has made?

Yes. With a free account every project is saved, and a parent account can be linked to a child's account to see their projects and control what they share. Teachers see their whole class from a classroom dashboard.

Can I use these in a homeschool co-op or a microschool?

Yes, and that is who most of these pages are written for. A free teacher account covers up to 50 students, and several of the apps have a shared mode where a whole group puts their work into one space and watches what happens.

What ages are these for?

Most sit comfortably from around age 8 through high school. Each tool page lists its own age range, how long a session takes, and what a student is actually learning while they use it.

Still have a question? Ask us, and a person will write back.

There is a lot more behind the login

The demos above are 82 of 129. A free account opens the full set of making apps, saves work between sessions, and lets a class share projects with each other. Teachers and co-op leaders get a classroom for up to 50 students at no cost. How to set one up, step by step.
