Privacy your safeguarding lead will sign off.
Built for classrooms first, which means child safety is the foundation, not a feature.
Camera stays on-device
Hand tracking runs in the browser. No video is ever recorded, transmitted, or stored.
No child accounts
Children never log in. They join with a short class code and a first name or nickname, which the teacher controls and can delete.
UK GDPR by design
Event analytics are pseudonymous, aggregated for reporting, and auto-deleted after 365 days.
Publicly auditable
Our live transparency page shows exactly what we measure and what we do not claim.
We set up session one with you.
No procurement maze. Three light steps from first call to a class that runs it themselves.
We learn your setup and year group, and answer your safeguarding questions.
We join your first classroom session live and calibrate the room with you.
Most teachers are independent by week two. We stay one message away.
What schools ask first.
No. Children never log in. You open the activity on the class device, pupils join the movement, not a system. Teacher accounts exist only for analytics and classroom mode.
Yes. Draw in the Air is a browser-based web app and runs on Chrome on Chromebooks. It needs only camera access, which most school Chromebooks support. No installation or admin approval is needed on most school networks.
Absolutely. Display it on your IWB through any connected laptop. The teacher can demonstrate a gesture to the whole class while pupils follow along, or the class can play together in classroom mode.
No faces, audio or video are ever collected, and the camera feed never leaves the device. A child joining a class session types a first name or nickname the teacher can see and delete. No child emails or contact details are collected. Usage analytics are pseudonymous, tied to a random browser id and never to a real child, aggregated for reporting, and auto-deleted after 365 days. The platform is designed around UK GDPR.
Activities are mapped to the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) in the UK and fit general pre-school and kindergarten readiness goals elsewhere. See the EYFS mapping section above for the activity-by-activity breakdown.
It runs in the browser with no install. We provide a Chromebook setup guide and the exact domains to allow-list for your network team.
Yes. Visit drawintheair.com/embed for the free embed code and paste it into any school website or blog, great for homework pages or classroom portals.
The pilot is free, and every activity is available in Class Mode sessions during the pilot. School licences are agreed with the school after the pilot.
