What the manual is
Level Up: Make Your First Game with AI walks a student from a first idea to a small game they can actually play. Each level is a quest with a goal, a hands-on activity, an AI prompt you type yourself, a boss challenge, and a parent note.
The first tool is Microsoft MakeCode Arcade. It is free, it runs in the browser, and a child does not need an account to start. The rule of the book: AI is your sidekick, not your controller. You type. Your student decides what to keep.
Level 1 is free to read and print for your own family. Read Level 1 or download the free Level 1 PDF. That file is the free chapter, not the 178-page manual. Then come back here for the paperback or the complete PDF.
Printables
The Parent + Student bundle is the 178-page manual plus the printables: a 10-page workbook, badge sheets and a certificate, a Hero Card, a Game Idea Sheet, a Playtest Scorecard, a Pixel Grid, a World Map, a Level Plan Grid, a sharing checklist, and printing and support notes. It is $29 and available now for immediate download.
Level Up 2 and Level Up 3 are coming soon. This page does not list a price for them. See the learning path for what comes next.
