Children don't just sit in front of a screen. They create: games, worlds, books, websites.

A small online studio for children aged 6–12. Children try everything: code, 3D, games, stories, websites. They find their own thing and complete each stage with releases: finished projects that anyone can open and see. The founder mentors every child personally, which is why students stay with us for years. Working since 2019.

LVLBOX at a glance
What is LVLBOX?
An independent studio where children create real projects. Here is the short version.
Who we are
An independent creative technology studio for children aged 6–12, founded in 2019 by teacher and curriculum author Mariia Zhukova.
How we learn
Online (CET time zone). Individual lessons and small groups, plus a weekly group lesson with project presentations. Lessons are taught in Russian.
What students build
Games, interactive stories, websites, books, 3D models and Minecraft Education worlds.
Certificates and proof
Studio certificates for levels, competitions and olympiads, not state-accredited. The linked projects are the evidence. To verify, open the student's achievement page on lvlbox.eu or write to gameboxlvl@gmail.com with the student's nickname.
OUR METHOD
We don't decide who a child should become
Over the first year, a child tries every direction a little. We see where they light up and strengthen exactly that. Each child builds their own path instead of "finishing a course."
Try everything
STEP 1 · FIRST YEAR
A bit of every tool: coding, 3D, games, stories, websites.
Find your thing
STEP 2
A favorite direction shows up naturally. We notice it.
Strengthen and grow
STEP 3 · YEARS
We deepen the strongest side until the student is an author with products of their own.
MEDO
Two online quests and coding games with her own illustrations, built on Tilda. We are preparing a portfolio website for admissions.
Found her thing: storytelling and world design
GORECODER
Creates educational videos and block-coding worlds for other children, and has written a game in Python. Now working on cybersecurity games.
Grew into an author of materials for others

STUDENT JOURNEY
We guide a child for years, until they grow into a creator
Not a course for a couple of months. Real paths of our students: from first missions to their own products and portfolios.

THE PATH: SIX LEVELS
How the LVLBOX program works
Students move through clear levels, completing missions and collecting finished work at each one.
Level 1 — Explorer →
Level 2 — Practitioner →
Level 3 — Initiator →
Level 4 — Startuper →
Level 5 — Master →
Level 6 — Expert.
Level 1 — Explorer → Level 2 — Practitioner → Level 3 — Initiator → Level 4 — Startuper → Level 5 — Master → Level 6 — Expert.
Finished work goes into the student's personal portfolio and can be presented at weekly showcases and competitions. Students earn virtual emeralds for completed projects and participation, and can exchange them for real rewards.
6 levels – the path is visible
HONEST ABOUT AI
AI is a pencil, not the author
We understand the worry that AI will think instead of the child. Our approach is the opposite: AI strengthens thinking, it does not replace it. Three rules we never break:
1. The child directs the AI
The idea, the plan and the decisions are always theirs. AI speeds up routine work: images, drafts, variations.
2. No "do it for me"
Work done entirely by AI is not counted. Students learn to check, edit and improve results.
3. Safe and age-appropriate
Vetted tools, work with a teacher, and conversations about data, fakes and digital hygiene in a child's own language.
Who leads the lessons
I teach every child myself
My name is Mariia. I am a teacher and the author of the LVLBOX method: I design the missions, quests and level system myself, and I teach every lesson myself. I do not run a stream of students: I work with exactly as many children as I can see and guide individually. That is why students stay with me for 4–5 years, from first missions to their own books and websites.
Author of courses
20+ years in education
Management degree
and a gamification system for children and teachers
Microsoft certifications
Minecraft Education Trainer, Innovative Educator, AI for Educators
