93% of these children could read the page. 31% understood it

A study of low-income children in English-medium schools in Hyderabad tested both ends of the same task. Reading a paragraph

aloud: 92.5% accuracy. Answering questions about what they'd just read: 31%. Every adult in the room hears fluent reading and concludes the child is fine.

That gap is the entire reason this product exists.

I built a 3D science app for kids almost entirely with Claude Code

Fifteen teardown-able models, a Python lesson flow, an English reader, payments, auth. One person. What it was genuinely good at: refactoring, migrations, catching CSS that was quietly dead. What it wasn't: knowing when a feature shouldn't exist.

Happy to answer anything about the workflow.

What's something you only understood once you saw inside it?

For me it was a car engine. I could describe the four strokes at sixteen and had no idea what any of it looked like until I watched someone take a head off.

I'm building a thing for children based on that gap, so I'm genuinely curious: what's yours? The thing you could recite long before you understood it.
