This is a blog about Simon, a young mathematician and programmer, and his little sister Neva. We write this blog together, share their projects and thoughts on their journey towards self-dicovery. They’re growing up in a supportive non-coercive learning environment. We deeply believe in interest-based, self-paced education and have had to move countries to make this possible as a family.

We are a family from Amsterdam who moved to Antwerp because homeschooling is illegal in The Netherlands.
This blog started as https://antwerpenhomeschooling.wordpress.com in March 2016. Over the years, most of our entries have gravitated towards exploring together with Simon as he has developed an insatiable passion for programming, math and science. His sister Neva is treading on his heals. We changed or name to Geeks of the Box in May 2021.
Simon making his own text editor with Ace.js and Firebase
This project got strangled somewhere along the way, but Simon got quite far with the interface. Hopefully, he will continue some day. he was thinking of calling the editor something … Continue reading Simon making his own text editor with Ace.js and Firebase
Flocking System Painting with Pixels
This is one Simon’s most beautiful projects recently! Simon saw the idea to link the webcam image to the boids of a flocking system in a video by Daniel Shiffman, … Continue reading Flocking System Painting with Pixels
Sound Wave Maths in Processing
Simon has created animations visualizing sound waves (Triangle, Sawtooth, Square and Sine waves) in Processing (Java), using wave functions. These are the functions he used for the Sawtooth, Square and … Continue reading Sound Wave Maths in Processing
Circle Intersection with Perlin Noise in Processing (Interactive)
Simon built a beautiful interactive circle intersection program in Processing, in which the circles detect intersection and change colors (according to Perlin Noise) once it occurs. The player can control … Continue reading Circle Intersection with Perlin Noise in Processing (Interactive)
Automatic Magformers Table
Magformers (magnetic building sets involving maths) used to be Simon’s greatest passion when he was six (just a year ago!) and this week he has been travelling in time to … Continue reading Automatic Magformers Table
Maze Generator Game in Processing
Simon has turned Daniel Shiffman’s Maze Generator Coding Challenge (generating a maze using the Depth-First Search Recursive algorithm) into a game in Processing (Java). It’s not fully operative yet, as the … Continue reading Maze Generator Game in Processing

Simon’s own little neural network
This is one of Simon’s most enchanting and challenging projects so far: working on his own little AIs. As I’ve mentioned before, when it comes to discussing AI, Simon is … Continue reading Simon’s own little neural network
Hero Game in Processing. Simon’s Own Code.
Simon has created a great new game in Processing: The Hero Game! It is somewhat like the good old Mario, except that Simon has no idea what Mario is and … Continue reading Hero Game in Processing. Simon’s Own Code.
Circle-Rectangle Intersection (Collision)
Simon has been studying various 2D collisions (via the p5.collide2D library and paulbourke.net), especially the Circle-Rectangle Intersection (Collision). He was so busy with this problem that he even put it down in chalk … Continue reading Circle-Rectangle Intersection (Collision)
Snake Game in Codea
We were caught up in the rain and had to wait at a restaurant. What do you do in a situation like this? Simon made a snake game on his … Continue reading Snake Game in Codea
