Figure 6.31: Makers Empire website home page accessed from the Polar
Cloud
As the Makers Empire 3D design app needs to run on your device rather than being browser-based, it cannot be accessed directly via your browser. So clicking a Makers Empire link from the Polar Cloud instead opens up a new window to the Makers Empire website – from that website you, or your students, will need to download and install the Makers Empire 3D design app on a supported device in order to use it. Figure 6.31 shows the sort of Makers Empire landing screen you may see if you click on the Makers Empire tile on the Polar Cloud “DESIGN” screen, or on a Makers Empire logo on a Polar Cloud object (an object saved directly from Makers Empire; see Section 6.2.3).9
Note that teachers with a Makers Empire subscription can login to their Teacher Dashboard (where they may perform operations such as exporting to the Polar Cloud or downloading students’ Makers Empire objects) from the Makers Empire website home page; see the LOGIN tab towards the upper right of Figure 6.31.
9Note that such a new window is opening up to a website outside the Polar Cloud, thus the exact appearance of this, and all other Makers Empire screens for the Makers Empire website and Makers Empire 3D design app, is subject to change by Makers Empire.
