*NOTE:
If you use Google Classrooms, Microsoft or Clever, your students do not need to create a new account; just choose Log In to use their same account details.
While students are able to create their own accounts in-app, many teachers find it easier to create and assign usernames and passwords for their students themselves.
TO CREATE A NEW USER ACCOUNT IN THE MAKERS EMPIRE 3D APP:
1. Open Makers Empire 3D and click the big New button.
2. Follow the prompts to create a new Hero, then choose a username and password.
3. We will try to automatically identify which school a new user is at using the IP of their device.
If we have correctly identified your school, click yes (tick). Go to step 4.a.
If we couldn't automatically identify your school don't worry, just click no (cross) and we'll link the new user with your school in a later step. Go to step 4.b.

4.a If we correctly identified your school, new users will then be asked to select their class from a dropdown list.
5.a New users will be asked to enter their real name and grade. Real names are strictly private and are only visible to teachers at your school and Makers Empire admins. Real names make it much easier for teachers to identify their students in the app and Teachers Dashboard.

*NOTE: We know only too well how easy it is to forget a password. You can download a list of your students' usernames and passwords. We recommend giving your students a copy of their details to take home so they can keep creating and learning out of school hours too.
