Logic as a Game. Then — Real Light in the Yard.

A free simulator lets your teen experiment with AND/OR blocks safely — no wires, no 230V. Once the idea works on screen, you build it together into a real LOGO! module and switch on a real light in the yard.

How It Works — From Game to Light

How It Works — From Game to Light

01

Download the simulator

LOGO! Soft Comfort is free — install it on any computer, no cost, no wiring.

02

Play with logic blocks

AND, OR, timers, sensors — drag and connect like a puzzle. Mistakes hurt nothing, just restart the simulation.

03

Build the first real circuit together

Once the logic works on screen, an older family member helps move it onto a real LOGO! module on the DIN rail.

04

Switch on the yard light

The 230V connection is always done by an adult or electrician — the kid sees their own logic switch on a real lamp.

What Your Kid Actually Learns

What Your Kid Actually Learns

4

skills in one hobby

Algorithmic thinking, cause-and-effect, an engineer's approach to problems, and patience — without one extra hour of screen time wasted.

Algorithms without code

AND/OR blocks teach logical thinking the same way programming does — without the syntax stress.

Cause and effect

The kid sees a direct link: this sensor → this action. Nothing stays abstract.

Engineer's thinking

Plan, test in the simulator, fix, try again — real engineering process on a small scale.

With family, not alone on a screen

The first real circuit is built together with parents — not another game behind a closed door.

A base for future skills

The same logic used in factories and home automation — just starting small and safe.

What to Know Before You Start

Plain words on what's safe for a kid and what's for adults only.

  • An on-screen simulator — completely safe, no voltage
  • The LOGO! module is a compact logic block for the DIN rail
  • Programmed with function blocks, not complex code
  • Typical tasks: lighting, watering, ventilation, gates
  • 230V wiring is always done by an adult or electrician
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is the simulator really free?

Yes — LOGO! Soft Comfort's simulation mode is free, so the kid can experiment as much as they like at no cost.

Can a kid connect 230V themselves?

No. Kids can handle the logic and simulation on their own, but voltage wiring is always done by an adult or electrician.

From what age does this work?

If the kid already grasps simple logic and is a teenager, they can handle the simulator alone — starting together with a parent.

Does LOGO! cover full home automation?

LOGO! is great for individual tasks. If you have many points and need the whole house, a KNX system fits better.

What if the kid gets the logic wrong?

Nothing breaks in the simulator — just restart and try a different way. That's how they learn.
