Kekula Launches Android App, Bringing Mobile AI Playground Games and On-Device AI Blox to Students

5 min read

February 20, 2026 — Kekula, the AI education platform for 3–10 grade students, has released its Android app on the Google Play Store. The app extends Kekula's browser-based tools to mobile devices, giving students access to a set of camera- and sensor-driven AI games as well as the ability to run AI Blox projects on their phones and tablets. An iOS version is currently in development and expected to follow in the coming months.

The app is available now as a free download from the Google Play Store.

From Browser to Pocket: AI Blox Projects on Mobile

One of the core capabilities of the Android app is its support for AI Blox, Kekula's visual, block-based AI app builder. Students who create projects on the web—using drag-and-drop blocks for image classification, text recognition, pose detection, and more—can now sync those projects to their mobile device and run them natively.

A practical example: a student can build a background remover app in AI Blox on their computer by connecting a camera input block to a background removal AI block and an output display block. Once saved, that same project can be opened on the Android app. The student can then point their phone's camera at any scene—or select any photo from their gallery—and the app removes the background in real time, entirely on-device. No cloud processing is involved; the AI model runs locally using the phone's hardware.

This workflow—build on web, run on mobile—is designed to make the connection between creating software and using it more immediate. Instead of an abstract exercise, students see their AI app become a tool they can carry in their pocket and use on any image they encounter.

10 Mobile AI Playground Games

The Android app also introduces a set of AI Playground games built specifically for mobile devices. These games use the phone's camera, microphone, and sensors to create interactive experiences powered by on-device machine learning models. The full list:

  • Pictionary — Draw on the screen and watch as the AI tries to guess your sketch in real time.
  • Simon Says — Follow body-pose instructions detected by the phone's camera. Strike the right pose before time runs out.
  • Mirror — Stand in front of the camera and see an AI-generated figure mirror your movements frame by frame.
  • Face Catch — Move your face to catch falling objects on screen, using real-time face tracking.
  • Hand Spelling — Form letters with your hand gestures and have the AI recognize each one to spell out words.
  • Stare Contest — The AI watches your eyes through the camera. Blink, and you lose.
  • Nose Pong — Control a pong paddle by tilting your head. The AI tracks your nose position to move the paddle.
  • Air Sketcher — Hold up your hand and draw in the air with your fingertip. The camera tracks your finger and renders the drawing on screen.
  • Finger Math — Hold up fingers to answer math problems. The AI counts your raised fingers and checks your answer.
  • Virtual Try-On — Use augmented reality to try on hats, glasses, and other items overlaid onto your face in the camera feed.

All 10 games run their AI models on-device, meaning they work without an internet connection once the app is installed. The games span multiple AI domains—computer vision, pose estimation, hand tracking, face landmark detection, and augmented reality—giving students hands-on exposure to how these technologies work in a context that feels like play.

How Mobile Supports Creative Learning

The shift to mobile addresses a practical gap in AI education: students often build projects in a browser during class time but have no way to use or demonstrate those projects outside the classroom. With the Android app, a student who builds a drawing recognition model, an image classifier, or an OCR tool in AI Blox can pull out their phone and run it anywhere—at home, at a science fair, or to show a friend.

The background remover example illustrates this well. On the web, building the app teaches concepts like image segmentation and model inference. On mobile, the same app becomes genuinely useful: students can remove backgrounds from photos for school presentations, creative projects, or social media—reinforcing that AI is not just something to study, but something to build with and use.

Availability

The Kekula Android app is available now on the Google Play Store. It is free to download for students with a Kekula account. The iOS version is in active development, with a release expected in the coming months. Schools and educators can learn more at kekula.ai or contact support@kekula.ai.
