Before you start: this whole episode runs right here in your browser, so there is nothing to install and it works on a school computer. When you are ready to build it for real, Unreal Engine 5 is free but a big install (around 30 GB) that wants a strong PC with a dedicated GPU, so a grown-up should help at home. New to the series? Start at Episode 1: Blueprint Basics. Finish every step and your badge shows up in My Progress.
