KineticClassroom
Helping students find the calm, focused state where learning happens.
Calm bodies. Focused minds. Better learning
KineticClassroom turns under-desk bikes into a real-time regulation dashboard — helping students with ADHD reach the calm, alert state where learning happens, while you see at a glance how they're tracking.
Some children can't focus when they're sitting still
For students with ADHD, hyperactivity, or regulation challenges, being asked to sit completely still during learning isn't just uncomfortable — research shows it can actively make focus harder. Their brain needs movement to reach the calm, alert state where learning becomes possible. KineticClassroom gives them a way to get there.
One iPad. Any classroom.
No complex setup. No IT department. One iPad manages the whole class. Students pedal gently at their desk while you teach.
Bluetooth sensors track cadence
Bluetooth sensors keep students in the regulation sweet spot — 50 to 70 RPM, the research-supported range where movement supports focus rather than competing with it.
Evidence that builds over time
Sessions save automatically. Over time you build a simple record of how each student is using the bikes — helpful evidence for documenting an adjustment, and for seeing what's working — without turning it into a competition.
The teacher dashboard shows each student's regulation status in real time — calm and focused, warming up, or over-activated — so you can see at a glance who needs support, without interrupting the class.
Designed for the students who need it most
KineticClassroom works best as a targeted tool for students with ADHD, hyperactivity, or regulation challenges in Years 5 and 6. Research shows these students benefit most from low-intensity rhythmic movement during learning — while the rest of the class works uninterrupted.

Become a Founding School
KineticClassroom is currently being trialled in a Brisbane primary school classroom. We're looking for a small number of founding schools to join us at a special introductory rate.
Founding schools get the app, direct support from the developer, and a genuine say in where it goes next. KineticClassroom is a teacher-built product at an early stage — founding schools don't just use it, they help shape what it becomes.
FAQs
What hardware do I need?
A Bluetooth cadence sensor and an under-desk pedal bike. We're currently finalising our recommended hardware setup based on classroom testing and will provide a full hardware guide to all trialling schools.
How many bikes do I need?
We recommend starting with 2 bikes. The app supports up to 6 sensors per class.
Is it suitable for all year levels?
KineticClassroom works best with Years 5 and 6. Younger students may find the dual task of pedalling and working more demanding — we recommend trialling with upper primary first.
What about student data and privacy?
Student data is stored on the iPad only — nothing is sent to external servers. You control what information is entered and who can see it.
Does it work on any iPad?
KineticClassroom requires an iPad with Bluetooth capability running iPadOS 14 or later. Most iPads from 2018 onwards are compatible.
