Cinderra

Cinderra for schools

A workspace students build in rather than write in — and one that knows what a rack unit is, what a residual current device does not protect against, and why a lamp wired between two phases still lights.

Built for Elektro og datateknologi with one Norwegian upper secondary school, and now open to others. Your school gets its own address, its own classes and its own roster, and nobody outside it sees any of that.

What your school gets

Your school gets its own address

Your school lives at its own subdomain — halden.cinderra.fun — with your name on it. Students and staff see your classes and nobody else’s, and a class list is not something another school can stumble into.

Teachers and students are different, properly

Roles are enforced in the database, not hidden in the interface. A student cannot read another student’s submission, see a grade before it is released, or open the class roster — regardless of what they type into the address bar.

Set work, collect it, mark it

Teachers set an assignment against a class with a deadline. Students get a queue of what is outstanding, soonest first, and hand in the board itself rather than a screenshot of it. Marking happens beside the work, not in a separate spreadsheet.

It knows what a rack unit is

Built for Elektro og datateknologi. Racks measured in rack units, cables that only connect where the connectors actually fit, a bill of materials worked out from what the student built, and an installation board that simulates — wire it wrong and the lamp stays dark.

Instruments that actually read

A multimeter, an oscilloscope and a signal generator with working displays. The meter reads the real voltage between its probes, the scope shows two phases genuinely 120° apart, and a student who puts it on the DC range across an AC circuit sees what a real meter shows.

The arithmetic, done

Ohm’s law, voltage drop and conductor sizing under Tools, plus a logic simulator that draws the truth table for a circuit a student has wired up. Open to students as well as staff — these are the tools, not the assessment.

The simulation is a teaching aid and says so wherever it gives an opinion. NEK 400 is binding; a green tick from us is not.

What it does not do

Worth reading before you get any further, because these are the things a school usually finds out in week three.

Is there a student information system integration?

No. There is no Feide, no SSO and no automatic roster sync yet. Students join a class with a code, or a teacher adds them by email. For a class of thirty that takes a few minutes; for a whole county it would not be enough, and we would rather say so.

Does it grade automatically?

No. A teacher reads the work and marks it. The simulator will tell a student their circuit is wrong while there is still time to fix it, which is the part that helps them, but the judgement is a person’s.

Where is the data?

Supabase, on EU infrastructure. Boards, submissions and grades belong to the school and can be exported. We are not a data broker and there is no advertising anywhere in the product.

What does it cost?

Nothing settled, and we would rather talk than publish a number we would have to walk back. Tell us how many students you have and what you teach, and we will tell you plainly what it would take.

How applying works

  1. You tell us about the school

    Name, roughly how many students, and what you teach. Two minutes, no account needed.

  2. We read it and reply

    A person, not a drip campaign. If we do not think this fits your school we will say so rather than book you into a demo.

  3. Your school is set up

    We create it at the address you picked and make you its administrator. You add your colleagues, they add their classes.

Apply for your school

No account needed — the person who decides this is often not the person who will log in. We reply to the address you give us.

Where your school will live. Lowercase letters, numbers and hyphens — short is better, your students will type it.

We use this to reply to you and for nothing else. No account is created and nothing is added to a mailing list.
