Student projects begin private. Creating and testing a game does not automatically publish it to other people.
Privacy
Creative freedom without default public exposure.
GameCoder is built around supervised learning. Student projects start private, teachers retain oversight, and broader sharing is never assumed.
Privacy posture
The short version
- Student work starts private.
- Sharing requires an intentional action.
- Schools retain supervision and moderation tools.
The current privacy principles
The beta keeps the operating model understandable: students create, adults supervise, and visibility expands only when someone chooses to share within the available controls.
Privacy principle
Private by default
Privacy principle
Teacher oversight
Teachers and school admins can supervise classroom use, review shared work, and moderate content when needed.
Privacy principle
School-scoped sharing first
GameCoder is being rolled out as a school-first platform, not as an open youth social publishing product.
Current defaults
What happens to student work
- Projects can be created and edited without public exposure.
- Shared student games currently live in a signed-in student library rather than an anonymous public gallery.
- Teachers and admins retain review access for supervised school use.
