Learn biocomputing
Short activities built around real systems, current evidence and the engineering questions behind living computers.
These activities use the same systems and source records as the rest of the site. They work in a browser, require no account and are designed for secondary, post-16 and introductory university use.
Biocomputer or not?
Classify real and hypothetical systems. The feedback exposes the boundary between biological computing, neuromorphic hardware and brain–computer interfaces.
Build a biocomputer
Choose a biological substrate, interface, feedback loop and task. The tool maps the design to current research and shows the engineering trade-offs.
Evidence detective
Decide whether a biocomputing claim comes from peer review, a preprint, company evidence or no adequate source.
Biocomputing flashcards
Core vocabulary and concepts, from multielectrode arrays to reservoir computing and closed-loop feedback.
For teachers
Short classroom routes combine an explainer with an activity and source evaluation. The pages can be used on a projector or by students on their own devices.
Follow the evidence
Every activity links back to system records, papers and evidence grades. Students can move from a simplified activity into the primary material.
