AI adventures

Coming soon: your cuddly friend in their own adventure picture.

Switched off during the test phase

During this time Uggadugu creates no AI pictures, not even with permission. Rewards are ready-made adventure cards.

ⓘ

After a completed round, a new picture can be waiting: Ugu, the rabbit or the elephant has a small adventure as a plush toy, for example a picnic on the moon or ice cream with a dinosaur. An AI creates the picture, and it goes into the adventure album.

A little beginning. So much wonder.

Everything Uggadugu can do

A learning journey for kindergarten to grade 2, guided by Lehrplan 21.

  • 25learning offers, enabled one by one
  • 9languages
For children
  • A cuddly friend comes along: Ugu, rabbit, elephant or your own plush toy as a photo.
  • Trace with a finger or type on the keyboard, both count.
  • Three fixed tracing levels: a wide path, a dotted guide or no guide.
  • Read aloud with “A as in apple”, sounds and words from the language pack.
  • A reward after every round: an adventure picture for the album, confetti optionally calm.
  • Journeys without detours: only 0–9 or only A–Z, pictures in between, the final reward at the end.
  • Mixed rounds: what was hard yesterday comes back tomorrow in a mix, with the question “number or letter?”.
  • Enter to keep learning, big buttons, no rankings, no countdown.
For parents, day care and school
  • Enable each offer separately; “Small start” shows only numbers, capital letters and memory.
  • Learning observations without grades: independent, with help, different tasks, repetitions due.
  • Several children can use one device with their own progress. Adults can delete an individual child’s data.
  • Class code as QR: carry the selection to other devices, no server, no child data.
  • Printable sheets from the same templates: name sheet, character sheet, decomposition house, play cards.
  • Backup as a file: take companion, album, progress and observations with you.
  • Lehrplan 21 reference documented per offer, together with the limits of what it shows.

Technology and trust
  • No account, no sign-up, no e-mail address.
  • Everything stays on the device: photos, progress, album, observations.
  • Previously loaded activities work offline. New content needs an internet connection first. Install directly from the browser.
  • No ads, no tracking, no analysis by third parties.
  • YouTube and AI pictures are off until adults explicitly allow them; during the test phase AI pictures are switched off completely.
  • Runs on older devices too: a second bundle for old browsers and a simple learning page with a small script.
  • Nine languages: German, French, Italian, English, Portuguese, Albanian, Bosnian-Croatian-Serbian, Kiswahili and Luganda. Luganda does not yet have its own audio clips.
  • Accessible: keyboard use, screen-reader labels, reduced motion, large touch targets.

Uganda
Low data, old devices, Luganda interface. Language packs are meant to be made with local speakers; today the voices are synthetic, and Luganda has no audio clips of its own yet.
To be honest
  • Uggadugu complements school and family, it replaces neither.
  • Observations are observations, not a diagnosis and not a grade.
  • The curriculum reference is documented; there is no official recognition or certification.
  • The voices in the language pack are marked as preview until native speakers have checked them.
  • Not all voices work correctly yet. Where a recording is missing, the device voice reads aloud; it sounds different on each device and is sometimes missing entirely.
  • AI adventures are switched off during the test phase. Uggadugu then creates no AI pictures.
