A hands-on neural network toy for ages 9-15. One Neuron Lab shows two input switches feeding one output neuron with adjustable weights (0, 0.5, 1, 2) and threshold (0.5-2); the rule is explicit - the neuron adds input x weight and switches on if the total reaches the threshold - with a live 4-row truth table. Teach the Pattern offers three provably solvable challenges (OR, AND, Copy A) with live scoring. The XOR Wall honestly shows one neuron capping at 3 of 4 on XOR and explains why real networks add layers and learn weights automatically through training.
