Sandboxels School -

Here’s a feature outline for a Sandboxels “School Mode” — turning the freefall sandbox into an interactive, curriculum-friendly educational tool.

🧪 Core Concept Sandboxels School = Classic pixel sandbox + guided science labs + classroom management tools. Students learn chemistry, biology, physics, and earth science through playful experimentation with teacher oversight.

📚 Key Features for School Mode 1. Curriculum-Aligned Experiments (Pre-built “Labs”)

Example labs:

Acid-Base Reaction (vinegar + baking soda → CO₂ bubbles) Plant Growth (soil + seed + water + sunlight → growth stages) Rock Cycle (heat + pressure → metamorphic rock; erosion → sediment) Electric Circuits (wire + battery + light bulb pixel) Fire Triangle (fuel + oxygen + heat)

Each lab has:

Goal (e.g., “Produce 100 units of steam”) Tool lock (only certain elements allowed) Step hints (optional) sandboxels school

2. Teacher Dashboard

Create classes and invite students via code Assign labs with due dates View student progress (which steps completed, time spent) Freeze student screen (for instruction) Reset world to lab start state Hide/restrict elements by grade level (e.g., hide radioactive or complex materials for younger students)

3. Student Tools

Lab Notebook (in‑game): take screenshots, add text observations, answer auto‑checked questions Pixel Pipette + Timelapse recording (save as GIF for reports) Heat Map Overlay (see temperature distribution) Stamps (place pre‑made structures like “cell membrane” or “volcano”)

4. Assessment System
