Welcome to the world of CodeX and Virtual Robotics!
If you are a teacher or individual user and want to claim your licenses, create a classroom, add students to the system, or simply login you can watch these simple videos or follow the steps below.
We have two methods you can follow to get started, written instructions or video instructions. Our written instructions are located directly below. If your preference is video instructions please scroll down to almost the very bottom, where you'll see "Getting started for the License Holder or Teacher (Video Instructions)".
