Build a Network.

Drag neurons onto the canvas, connect them into layers, and watch data flow through your creation.

After this lesson you'll know

  • How neurons connect to form layers
  • The difference between input, hidden, and output layers
  • Why architecture matters for what a network can learn
  • What happens when data flows through a network

Layers are the architecture of intelligence.

A single neuron can make simple decisions. But stack neurons into layers — input, hidden, output — and suddenly the network can recognize faces, translate languages, and write code. The architecture (how many layers, how they connect) determines what the network can learn.

Order the Layers

Arrange the three layer types in the order data flows through them

1Hidden Layer — finds patterns and intermediate features
2Output Layer — makes the final prediction or decision
3Input Layer — receives raw data (pixels, text, numbers)

Drag, drop, connect, train.

Drag neurons from the palette → drop into the canvas

Challenge: Cats vs Dogs Classifier

Build a network that could classify images of cats and dogs.

Place at least 2 input neurons
Add 2+ hidden neurons
Place 2 output neurons (cat/dog)
Connect all layers
Run training to see data flow

Test your understanding.

Neural networks are layers of neurons connected together. Input neurons receive data. Hidden neurons find patterns. Output neurons make decisions. The magic is in the connections — each one has a weight that gets adjusted during training.

Describe the architecture of a simple neural network for classifying customer reviews as positive or negative. Include: input layer (what data goes in), hidden layers (what they do), and output layer (what comes out). Use plain language, not math.
