Overview
Turn your child's love of playing Minecraft into real-world coding skills with this fun online Minecraft programming class full of exciting challenges and projects. Students will learn how to make a Minecraft mod, and how to program games, stories, buildings, and anything else they want to make happen, and see it come alive in the Minecraft game.
Coding in this live online class is done through a drag-and-drop interface similar to Scratch. But we teach much deeper computer programming skills commonly used in advanced text-based programing languages. This course is a great next step for kids who have mastered Scratch and would like to continue to learn more advanced coding. All of our online classes are led by instructors who are passionate about teaching kids' coding, with no more than a handful of students per group. Join us to experience the fascinating world of coding Minecraft for kids!
Students who are new to coding should take Scratch Ninja first to set the coding foundation. For students grades 2-4, we also recommend doing Minecraft Modding Quest after Scratch Ninja, before taking this class to ensure the best learning experiences. We provide Minecraft Java Version license for Part 1 - 2 during the period of course so students do not need to purchase Minecraft licenses.
Intro to Intermediate Minecraft Modding (Trial Class): In this Intermediate Minecraft Modding intro class, we introduce students to the platform for coding on Minecraft. It is easy to use and very powerful. We will complete two fun challenges in this class. They will also start building their very first mod! This is an advanced coding class for grades 4-6. In this intro class, we will not code on Minecraft itself but will use an emulator instead, because it takes a lot of time to enable coding for Minecraft. However, in Parts 1 - 3 of this course, the code will run on Minecraft software. Sign up today to start learning Minecraft coding.
