Build, Hack and Code with Minecraft Education, [Ages 7-10], Five Day Camp Jun 20-24 (2:00PM) @ Nakameguro

Explore the world of 3D Games. Build, hack and code in Minecraft, designing a whole new game that you can call your very own! Learn how to write block-based code and deploy it to servers just like Notch did to create Minecraft.

Kids are empowered to get creative using texture packs, schematics and more. They get imaginative and creative with their programming skills to create their own version of Minecraft that they can have a blast playin’ with their friends!

• Ideally have prior experience with Minecraft
• Reinforce programming concepts
• Code your own game in a 3D world
• Requires Start with Scratch or Coding the Impossible 0 or equivalent block-based programming experience

Explore the world of 3D Games. Create the coolest worlds in Minecraft Education, designing a whole new game that you can call your very own! Learn how to write block based code and deploy it to Servers just like Notch did to create Minecraft.

Kids are empowered to create their own amazing Minecraft worlds, from texture packs, schematics and more. And as we code these new worlds together, we’ll be learning coding concepts through creative coding. By the end, kids get to play with their friends in their own Minecraft worlds!

Learn all about Minecraft Servers.

So you’ve played Minecraft on your own, with friends or on popular servers but do you ever wonder how these wonderful games you enjoy playing so much are made and distributed? In this course, you will not only learn how to build these games, but also host them on servers so your friends can join in and play the game you’ve coded.

We will start off by exploring aspects of game development and programming within a new environment, to practise and reinforce programming concepts learnt from our introductory courses.

We’ll apply the familiar concepts of loops, conditionals and events to create our games. We will also develop your understanding of what happens when games are deployed on servers for other people to access them. A brief history of Minecraft will also explored, through educational games and quizzes.

Now, get creative with Minecraft!

Minecraft provides an immersive 3D environment for kids to develop their programming and game development skills.

Kids can use code to change the way the game behaves and responds. They will learn how to create their own world, build games within a game and even have a go at playing what they created with their friends in Minecraft!

They’ll build their own Minecraft worlds using a drag-and-drop block-based code editor. In the process, kids will improve their understanding of core programming and computational thinking concepts, and use their creativity and imagination to make their very own world to play in.
