Independent student builder studio

CodePet Labs

An AI-native software lab exploring educational tools around the Pika ecosystem.

CodePet Labs is a small invite-only environment where motivated students learn modern software development by shipping Pika-adjacent tools, prototypes, and experiments. It is not a school club, formal class, or employment program.

Mock-first prototypes

Summer 2026
01

Idea

Shape the problem with Pika context.

02

Prototype

Build with mock data and small scope.

03

Demo

Share a working slice each week.

04

Review

Verify, polish, and decide next steps.

Current focus

Small projects around real product questions

Labs work stays adjacent to Pika core. Students explore useful interfaces, workflows, and product ideas in separate repos with mock data first.

Focus

CodePetPal

Companion-style learning experiments for motivation, feedback, and lightweight progress loops.

Focus

Gradex

Teacher-facing gradebook and analytics prototypes that explore clearer student progress signals.

Focus

Attendance

TapCheck-style attendance flows using mock rosters and fast classroom check-in patterns.

Focus

Polling

Low-friction classroom pulse checks, feedback prompts, and discussion starters.

Focus

Pika UI Experiments

Interface studies for future Pika-adjacent products, dashboards, and shared design language.
