Circuit Academy

Five bite-sized labs that reveal how a computer thinks: bits, logic gates, programs, memory and the input-process-output pipeline.

🤖

Hi, I'm Chip! A computer is really just millions of tiny ON/OFF switches working together at lightning speed. I'll show you the big ideas — one lab at a time. Pick a lab below to get started!

Bits & Bulbs

Discover binary numbers — how computers count using only 0s and 1s.

Logic Gates Lab

Meet AND, OR, NOT and XOR — the tiny switches every computer chip is built from.

Program Chip

Write a step-by-step program to guide Chip through a maze, just like a real CPU follows instructions.

Memory Cells

See how a computer stores and recalls numbers while a program is running.

Input → Process → Output

Every program follows the same big idea. Sort, filter and transform data just like software does.
