Adventure Design With Minecraft - 2 Hours - 5 Day Spring Break Camp

Welcome to Minecraft: Adventure Design! In this interactive program, you'll learn how to design, build and create your own Minecraft minigames and adventure maps. Whether you're an experienced Minecraft player or a beginner, our expert instructors will help you explore your creativity and problem-solving skills as you navigate the various construction challenges while working with Minecraft as your primary design engine.

Our One-week program is designed for kids in grades 4-10 and takes place 5 days a week with a one-hour - fifty-five-minute long class meeting. Each session is unique and can be taken multiple times, so your child can continue to develop their skills and create new adventures each time.

During the program, students will learn the basics of Redstone circuits and devices, how to design and build an adventure map, the principles of creating a dynamic and interesting 3D game world, how to construct 3D adventure maps and minigames, and the principles of game design. Our student-centered learning approach with collaborative projects encourages teamwork and communication among students, allowing them to learn from each other and develop new skills together.

Our teaching style is interactive and engaging, with a focus on hands-on learning. We use a variety of teaching methods including lectures, games, slides, video clips, and discussions to ensure that students have an immersive and fun learning experience. Each day, students will work on a new project or challenge, which builds upon what they learned in previous days.
