For families

Make Day at Home

You sign up; your children make things. Your child invents a game, a song, an app, a website, a story or a moving art toy, and Make Day AI builds it while they watch. Then they change it, look inside its real code, and learn to code for themselves with Pip the robot. All they need is a web browser on a tablet or computer, and they never need an account.

What you'll get

• A private lab for your family. All six labs, and an Arcade only your family can see.
• Make Day AI each month, for each child: up to 40 new creations, or 80 power-ups, or a mix. A new creation uses 2 steps and a power-up 1, from 80 steps a child, shared across your family. Your controls show how much is used and the day it comes back. If it runs out, everything they've made keeps working.
• Learn to code with Pip, which never runs out. 12 levels where your child writes every move, with blocks for ages 5 to 7 or typed code for 8 to 11, plus coding challenges on their own creations. It uses no AI, so there's no limit. Certificates to print when they finish.
• No accounts for your children, and we never ask for names. They type a family code, and the lab gives them a made-up nickname.
• Your own controls. See what they've made and asked for, hide anything, pause the lab, and change or cancel your membership.
• Creations to keep. Save any creation as a file that plays in a web browser, even offline.

Keeping them safe at home

There's no teacher in the room at home, so a few things will work differently from a school's lab.

• You're told. If something your child types makes our safety check think they might be worried or at risk, the lab doesn't build it, it points them to a grown-up and Childline, and we email you straight away. We don't keep their words, though our AI provider's 30-day deletion applies to what the check read.
• Photos stay off until you turn them on. Then the check turns away photos of people, and we don't keep the photos, though any part your child cuts out stays in their creation.
• Nobody outside your family. No links, no online games and no chat. Children can't talk to the AI: they describe a creation, and it builds it.
• Ideas and creations are checked. An AI check reads ideas before anything is built, and the words it can find and the images stored in a creation before it reaches your family's Arcade or a saved file. No automatic check is perfect, so please stay nearby, at least to begin with.
• A 🚩 Report button on every creation comes to you and to us. The house rules say what isn't allowed.

Wherever your child makes or plays, the lab says Make Day AI is a computer program, not a person. It also tells your child that a grown-up at home can see what they make. There's more on our safety and data page.

Questions

Can my child sign up by themselves?

A parent or carer signs up, because it takes a card and children under 13 can't agree to this themselves. Your child can try the lab for free today, with no sign-up.

What age is it for?

It's best for ages 7 to 11, and works from 5 to 16. The lab asks their age (it's the only thing it asks) and pitches the words and the coding to it.

Can brothers and sisters share?

Yes. They share one family code and your family's Make Day AI for the month: each child you cover adds 80 steps. You can change how many children at any time.

What happens when the month's AI runs out?

The lab tells your child kindly and says when it comes back. Their creations, the sliders, the Arcade and Learn to code with Pip all keep working. It comes back on the same day each month.

How do I cancel?

In your controls, at any time. Your lab keeps working until the end of the month or year you've paid for. We delete everything 30 days after that, and you can save anything you'd like to keep first.

What happens to what they make?

It stays in your family's own database, restricted to the EU, and it isn't used to train any AI. What they type is cleared from the log after 7 days, though words typed as a change stay inside the creation until it's deleted. The privacy notice has the detail.

Is it only for the UK?

For now, yes: UK families and UK cards.

No mail app? Email hello@makeday.co.uk and say "early place". We'll tell you the day it opens, and no card is taken until then.
