Yenka is a suite of educational software products which lets students simulate scientific experiments, create mathematical models, design electronic circuits or learn computer programming. Yenka is developed by Crocodile Clips Ltd.

Yenka uses a unified interface to model reactions in scientific and technological subject areas, often in 3D. Users see results in real time or simulated time at 0.1x or 10x speed, replicating actual results (a completed circuit will illuminate a light-emitting diode (LED), but applying too much electric current will destroy it). Yenka also allows educators to design lessons and interactive content for students. The extension is .yka.

Yenka is divided into four main groupings: science, computing, mathematics and technology. The products include

Simulates program flow and logic using 3D characters and interaction.

Introduces computer programming by controlling 3D dancing characters.

Uses coins, dice and variables to illustrate statistics.

A 3D modeling tool for experimenting with 3D geometry.

Renders the effects of reflection, refraction, lenses and moving sources.

Models the effects of gravity, velocity, elasticity and the physical laws.

Simulates the chemical reactions between over 100 chemicals, even at the molecular level.

Models electrolysis, electroplating and cells with over a range of metals and electrolytes.
