GCompris, KDE's collection of educational activities, publishes version 26.0.

https://gcompris.net/news/2026-02-04-en.html

The collection comes with 197 activities, including 2 new ones: "Drawing wheels", an activity for drawing with a gear rotating in a cogwheel; and "Multiple choice questions", an activity that can be enabled through GCompris-teachers (see next post).

An animation showing how you can use Drawing wheels to draw geometric figures by rotating a gear inside cogwheel.

This screenshot shows the question "In which mountain range is Mount Everest located?" and 3 options: The Andes, The Himalayas, and the Alps. Multiple choice questions lets teachers set multiple choice quizzes for their pupils.

But probably the biggest news is the official release of GCompris Teachers, a companion application for teachers that lets you create customized datasets and receive pupils results for some activities.

Check out the full release announcement here:

GCompris is fully translated to 23 languages, but has nearly full translations for double that.

Why not help us complete translating GCompris and cover more languages?
