I'm trying to create some resources for school-age #children at my #library to explore websites other than Roblox. Anyone have any suggestions about sites that have engaging activities for 7-13 year olds that don't feel didactic or moralizing, and are actually fun or interesting?

@yerald@social.coop That xkcd space exploration game, "Escape Speed," would have been an enjoyable exercise for 10-13 year old me. Also: a gateway to the wonderful science content on that site. https://xkcd.com/2765/
