Nobody is born knowing how to use a computer.

So we built 24 activities that teach the real basics — the mouse, the keyboard, typing, staying safe online, passwords, files — and gave them away. Made for kids aged 5 to 12.

Hi, I’m SYLO!

Why this exists

We build technology for a living. This one's a gift.

Our team spends its days on networks, websites and automation for businesses. Along the way we kept noticing the same thing: a kid gets handed a laptop at school, and everyone quietly assumes the basics are obvious.

They aren't. How to aim a mouse. What a file name can't contain. Why a pop-up promising a prize is lying to you. Those things get taught, or they don't — and which side a kid lands on too often comes down to what their family could afford.

So we made SYLO Skills and gave it away. No ads, no accounts, nothing collected from a child. Use it in a classroom, a library, or at the kitchen table. Copy the link and send it to whoever needs it. That's the whole point.

🎁

Free, and staying that way

No paid tier waiting behind the third lesson. There is nothing to buy here, now or later.

🔒

Nothing collected from kids

No sign-up, no name, no email, no score saved anywhere. A child can open it and start.

📺

No ads, ever

Nothing flashing, nothing upselling, nothing that trains a kid to click on a banner.

🏫

Yours to use however

Classrooms, homeschool, libraries, holiday programs. Share it, project it, build a lesson round it.
