Course Description
Minecraft is a popular 3D sandbox video game created by Swedish developer Markus Alexej Persson. The game serves as a valuable educational tool, from developing computational thinking through coding to helping educators reimagine the way traditional school subjects are delivered. Through our proprietary Minecraft server, players build an understanding of programming loops, sequential execution and variables, using them in combination to create architectural marvels in an instant! Aside from enhancing their spatial perception and creativity, participants can expect to develop computational thinking and problem-solving skills.
What your child will learn:
- Navigating and coding in a 3D environment
- Forming a better understanding of programming through visual representations of loops and functions
- Become accustomed to syntax-based coding
- Collaborate and build everything from futuristic schools to rainbow pyramids!
