Minecraft is already an impressive tool for gaming and social interactions but Minecraft Education opens up much more power. Build a village in 20 lines of code! Destroy certain mobs in a small radius! Build a micro game to share with your friends! This class will give you the skills to mod your own Minecraft world. Class 1: Coding in-game. We will look at the command line and some of the skills and tricks you can use to improve your building Class 2: Working with Mobs and NPC's. We will look at how to summon to populate our world and how to change the interactions mobs and NPC's might have with visitors to the world you are building. Class 3: Particles. We will look at particles and how these can be used to animate rainclouds and fire effects while we walk Class 4: Open server game time. Students have been building their own unique worlds, now we can share these worlds with the class and work together on them!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Non-US Teaching Certificate in Secondary Education
I’m Cody Creed.
I have been a teacher for 15 years in Winnipeg, Manitoba. I have a passion for STEAM education. That is the combination of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math.
For my classes, these ideas come together in maker skills, art, and coding. I’m proficient in easy to learn, low barrier graphic coding but I’m also comfortable with some other code languages.
Beyond teaching, I make robots and perform as a puppeteer. These projects have to go beyond code and engineering. They need to have personality.
