Add AR, VR, and 3D coding
to your curriculum

HatchXR is a 3D / AR / VR game creation platform widely used in schools around the world. It enables students to build, code and explore their own creations in VR or AR, helping them build a strong foundation for their STEM learnings, while developing essential digital skills.

Hatch Kids is a simplified version of HatchXR, targeted towards students of 6-10 years of age. The core difference between Hatch Kids and HatchXR is that Hatch Kids let’s you code using blocks that students can just drag and drop into the workspace. It’s a visual programming language similar to Scratch, Blockly, Code.org and other common platforms used by kids in this age group.

On the other hand, on HatchXR, students need to code their games using the JavaScript programming language. It is one the most common programming languages for the web since the previous decade. While Hatch Kids is built for younger students, HatchXR is built for everyone (beginner or professional) who wishes to learn about 3D / AR / VR game creation, or about JavaScript programming.

Hatch Kids is built with the purpose of teaching students the fundamentals of programming in a fun and interactive way, with the help of our drag-n-drop code blocks. In this era of technology, programming has become one of the most important skills students need to have, and the Hatch team aims to provide a stepping stone for students in that direction.

Our drag-n-drop code blocks not only help students develop their logical and analytical thinking, but the projects built on the platform can also be used to teach concepts of Science, Mathematics, Literature, and other courses, in a more visual environment, and thereby learn faster, retain knowledge better, and develop their foundational skill faster than their peers.

Creating on Hatch Kids is a simple drag and drop process with a variety of key features including access to millions of free 3D models from all over the internet, ability to doodle your own 3D models, block-based coding and much more. Hatch Kid’s visual coding language of Blocks is ideal for young coders and a great introduction to computational thinking.

You just need an email address to create a free account on Hatch. Alternatively, you can use your Google or Facebook account to sign up, and start building your very own games right away. If you need help or inspiration, you can watch our tutorial videos on Youtube, or connect with our team and community on discord, and interact with everyone who is using Hatch.

The HatchXR discord community is the best place to get support from the Hatch team and from other educators / creators who may have the same questions you have. You can also get support from our community on Facebook or Instagram or Twitter. If you have a more individual technical issue or question, please contact us via email at hello@hatchxr.com.

Yes. You can contact the Hatch team for direct support by mailing them at hello@hatchxr.com. or you can join our discord channels, where a community of educators, and creators will be happy to help you.

No. Hatch is a free online platform, meant to help teach the current and future generations about coding, and to help them build their own 3D / AR / VR games. Both HatchXR and Hatch Kids are free to be used by everyone.

Yes, absolutely. You can build your own projects and use our platform to teach your students on your own. You don’t require our permission to use the platform. You can also become our ambassador and help others learn about Hatch. To learn more about our Ambassadors program, mail us at hello@hatchxr.com.
