Teacher guideMABNI Coding Studio
Use MABNI with a class, without confusion.
This guide explains the teacher flow: create a class, add students, let them join with a class code, track progress, and sync local work when internet is available.
Create class
Open the dashboard, create a class, and keep the 5-digit class code visible for students.
Add students
Add student names and their icon/password. Students should not create online accounts.
Student joins
Student opens the app, chooses “Join teacher class,” enters the class code, then selects their name and icon.
Track progress
Use the dashboard to see active students, completed levels, stars, attempts, and pending work.
Keep a backup
Student progress reaches the teacher PC over the local network. Export class rosters and the progress database to a classroom backup drive.
Recommended classroom flow
Open teacher dashboard
Create or select a class
Students join with code
Run lesson and monitor progress
If students cannot reach their class, check that the server is running and all devices use the teacher PC's local network address. Internet access will not fix a disconnected classroom network.
Creative project backups
Scratch and Junior Stories save in each learner’s browser. Download .sb3 and .sjr copies to keep or move their projects; teacher database backups do not include these browser-only creations.
Start the lab before teaching
For the Mabni launcher, Veyon installation and a copyable classroom link, follow the offline classroom setup guide. This page explains Mabni’s lesson and progress controls.
