Flock XR gives learners a practical way to create interactive 3D worlds, games, animations and immersive experiences in the browser. It combines coding, creativity and spatial thinking.
Because Flock XR runs in the browser and does not require learner accounts, teachers can get started quickly with fewer setup barriers.
Creativity
Flock XR gives learners a creative reason to code. They don’t write instructions to solve an abstract problem, learners can build a world they can see, explore and showcase.
Because learners are building in 3D, they are not just designing what something looks like. They are designing what it feels like to move through, explore and experience.
Flock XR supports a wide range of creative outcomes, from games and animations to interactive stories, virtual galleries, personal worlds and atmospheric scenes. This gives learners room to experiment, follow their own interests and make projects that feel genuinely their own.
Coding
Flock XR helps learners build coding knowledge through practical, hands-on projects. Concepts such as sequence, selection, repetition and variables become easier to understand because learners can see the results of their code immediately in a 3D world.
Learners build their projects using intuitive drag-and-drop coding blocks and have access to ready-made code snippets that help learners get started quickly, then adapt and extend their projects as their skills grow.
For teachers who want a structured route through these ideas, Flock XR also includes curriculum-aligned Coding 3D Worlds resources from Year 3 to Year 9. These support progression over time while still giving learners opportunities to create, test, adapt and personalise their work.

Spatial thinking
Flock XR helps learners think spatially. They work with position, scale, distance and direction. This supports STEM thinking, design thinking and a better understanding of how digital 3D environments are constructed.
As learners build and test their worlds, they make decisions about how users will move through the space. They begin to understand that 3D design is not just about placing objects, but about creating environments that make sense from the user’s point of view.
This can support learning across subjects, from modelling real-world places and structures to creating imagined spaces, simulations, journeys and interactive scenes.
Storytelling
Flock XR gives learners a powerful way to create stories in 3D. They can build scenes, add dialogue, create interactions, animate characters and objects, and guide the player through an experience.
Learners can use a variety of 3D characters, items and objects to bring their ideas to life. They can personalise player and non-player characters, create moments of choice or discovery, and use movement, sound and animation to develop atmosphere, mood and meaning.
Camera controls also help learners think like directors. They can point the camera at different scenes, focus attention on key moments and decide how the audience experiences the story as it unfolds.
Problem-solving
Flock XR encourages learners to solve problems through testing, adapting and improving their projects. They can remix existing examples or build their own projects from scratch, giving them different routes into creative problem-solving.
Play mode lets learners experience their project as a user would. They can move through the world, test interactions, observe physics, check movement and see whether objects behave as expected.
Because learners can live edit or stop, edit and play their project again, debugging becomes controllable, visible and immediate. They can make a change, test the result, spot what needs fixing and keep improving their work step by step.
Collaboration
Flock XR supports collaboration in practical and flexible ways. Learners do not need accounts to get started, but they can save and open project files, making it easy to continue work, share examples or move projects between devices.
Learners can also export code snippets and import them into other projects. This makes it possible to share useful pieces of code, reuse working solutions and build on each other’s ideas.
Play mode is a valuable tool for user testing. Learners can try each other’s projects, discuss what works well, spot things that could be clearer and give feedback on the experience from a player’s point of view.
Flock XR also works well for pair programming. The adaptable interface means the workspace can be set up to smake more use of the code area or canvas at different times helping to support focused collaboration.
Immersive media
Flock XR introduces learners to immersive media by helping them create experiences that use space, movement, sound, interaction and viewpoint. Learners are not just making something to look at on a flat screen. They are designing worlds that can be explored, tested and experienced.
Projects can be created for 3D, augmented reality and virtual reality experiences, giving learners a practical way to understand how immersive technologies are designed. They can think about how a user enters a scene, where their attention is directed, how they move through the space and what makes an experience feel engaging or believable.
Spatial audio can help learners understand that sound has a place in a scene. A sound can come from an object, grow louder as the user moves closer, or help guide attention through an environment.
Flock XR brings together coding, creativity and immersive media in a way that feels practical and purposeful for learners. They can build, test, adapt and share their own 3D worlds while developing skills in problem-solving, design, storytelling and collaboration.
This makes Flock XR a flexible classroom tool for helping learners understand how digital experiences are made and giving them the confidence to create their own.
