Kids develop their coding skills through the popular game.
What will the students learn in this class?
Using Microsoft MakeCode in the Minecraft Education Edition, kids learn to code virtual robots, superpowers, magic weapons, mega buildings, obbys, and much more.
The focus of the class is coding. We want students to have fun in Minecraft and learn coding, so we’ve created a custom curriculum that lets kids explore Minecraft and code with their friends. Each class kids learn and code using fundamental concepts, such as variables, loops, if statements, functions and more.
In addition to learning the basics of coding, kids learn problem-solving and logic, gain confidence with computers and technologies and express themselves creatively.
Here’s an example of some of the things students learn to code in class:
