Welcome to the world of CodeX, CodeBot, & Virtual Robotics!
If you are a teacher or individual user looking to claim your licenses, create a classroom, add students to the system, or simply log in you can watch these simple videos or follow the steps below.
To get started, you can choose between two formats: written or video instructions. You'll find the written directions immediately below. For those that prefer video tutorials, please scroll down to the bottom, where you'll see "Getting started for the License Holder or Teacher (Video Instructions)".
Getting started for the License Holder or Teacher (Written Instructions)
Step 1. Claim your License
A. Locate your email titled "CodeSpace Claim Code - Firia Labs" from info@firialabs.com. This was sent on the date of purchase.
B. Log into the License Portal and click the CLAIM LICENSE button.
C. You have two options here:
- If you are using the same email that the order was placed with, you'll see a message that says you have an order associated with your email. Click SHOW ORDERS.
- Copy & Paste the Claim code from your email in the 'Find Order By Claim Code'. Then click SUBMIT CLAIM CODE.
D. Select the license you want to claim and click the CLAIM LICENSES button.
E. Activate your license! Keep in mind that clicking on the ACTIVATE button begins its countdown to expiration. Additionally, activation is required to set up your classroom in the Teacher Dashboard.
Step 2. Create a Classroom
A. Once your license is activated, proceed to the Teacher Dashboard. The list will be blank if you have not created any classrooms yet.
B. Click on the Add Classroom button in the top right corner of the table. It looks like this: 
.
C. Provide a Class Name and select a Product for your classroom. To enable students to join your classroom using a Join Code, ensure the corresponding option is selected. For adding students manually through their email addresses, deselect this option. If you're using Google Classroom as your Learning Management System (LMS), this is the step where you connect it.
Step 3. Adding Students to a Classroom
As a teacher you can add students to your class two different ways:
A. If you selected Allow Members To Join With Join Code when you created your class now you can share that code with your students.

6. When the student enters the Join Code that class should automatically be activated and the student can start working!
B. Alternatively, you can manually add students to your class. You will start at the Teacher Dashboard.
1. Click on the Class that you want to add students to. You will click right on the row for the class. This will bring up a new table that lists all of your students.
2. Click on the "plus" button in the table header. It is the same button you used to create a new classroom. It looks like this: .
3. Select Member for the "Role" and type in the user's email address. This can be done even before a student has a Firia Labs account.
