Set up every computer on the Letter Tracing or Number Tracing page for a structured 10-minute finger gym warm-up.
Use Bubble Pop for 5-minute movement breaks, children pop bubbles in the air, getting physical activity without leaving their seats.

Built for classrooms first, which means child safety is not a feature. It is the foundation.
Hand tracking runs in the browser. No video is ever recorded, transmitted, or stored.
Children never log in and never have a profile. They join with a short class code.
Anonymised, aggregated analytics only, auto-deleted after 365 days.
Our live transparency page shows exactly what we measure and what we don’t claim.
No. Children never need accounts, logins, or registrations. They join with a short class code on screen, making it ideal for any classroom environment.
Yes! Draw in the Air is built as a browser-based web app and works on all modern browsers including Chrome on Chromebooks. It requires only camera access, which most school Chromebooks support. No installation or admin approval needed in most school networks.
Absolutely. Draw in the Air can be displayed on an interactive whiteboard through any connected laptop. The teacher can demonstrate gestures to the whole class while students follow along on individual devices.
No personally-identifying student data is collected, no names, emails, faces, audio, or video. The camera feed never leaves the device. We do collect anonymised, aggregated usage analytics (which game modes are popular, whether hand tracking started successfully, which letters were practised) tied to a randomly-generated browser identifier, never to a real child. Anonymised analytics are auto-deleted after 365 days. See our Privacy Policy for the full detail. The platform is designed to be GDPR and COPPA compliant for children.
Draw in the Air supports Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) in the UK, Common Core early learning standards in the US, and general pre-school/kindergarten readiness frameworks globally. Letter and number tracing are aligned with typical curriculum sequences.
Yes! Each student uses Draw in the Air independently on their own device, or the whole class can move together in live classroom mode with one laptop, webcam and projector.
