Girls' Coding Camp in Minecraft: Code Your Own Robot Helper (5-Session)
Class experience
(Minecraft Java Edition for PC / Mac Only) (Not compatible with Ipads, Kindles, Tablets, Phones, and Game Consoles.) If you’re a girl who loves Minecraft and the thrill of customizing your play, then this is the camp for you. In this girls-only camp you’ll learn to command robots and transform your Minecraft into a powerful world filled with dynamic machines. To control the robots in game, you’ll master the basics of a lightweight programming language called Lua. Like the machines in the...
These are the students’ learning goals and activities over the course of five sessions: — Day 1 - Set Up and Movement - Our primary goal for this day is to assist students in setting up Minecraft and to familiarize kids with our course’s objectives. We’ll introduce students to the world of programming where they will learn the basics of computercraft to take control of robots and enable them to navigate a small maze. — Day 2 - Block Interactions - Students will program robots to interact with blocks through a series of challenges. With these newfound learnings they will work alongside their robots to build a simple house. — Day 3 - Variables - What are variables and how are they used in programming? Students will explore different types of variables to dig a staircase in Minecraft in order to further their journey in programming. — Day 4 - Conditionals - Using conditionals like if/then statements, students will create an algorithm so their robots can solve the puzzles from Day 1. — Day 5 - Loops - Loops give students the ability to repeat a part of a code. Students will use for-loops and automate their robots to completely solve a maze on its own.
Connected Camps is a not-for-profit organization founded in 2015 with the mission to build a global online community where kids build, code, play, and learn from one another. Our programs are designed based on the extensive research in the learning sciences. The founders and leaders of Connected Camps, Mimi Ito and Katie Salen, are professors at the University of California, Irvine who specialize in the design of online learning experiences that are fun, social, and tied to academic outcomes. Learn more about the research behind Connected Camps at the Connected Learning Alliance resource site: https://clalliance.org/ One thing that makes our programs unique is our near-peer mentorship model. Our programs are led by young adults and college students, often with the help of high school volunteers. We hire counselors and coaches from top universities in computer science, game development, economics, and sports performance, and design and train them on how to facilitate project-based learning with younger kids. Our young instructors have the same passion for technology, games, and digital making as our learners, and take on the role of instructors, as well as fellow enthusiasts and relatable role models.

A Minecraft Java Edition account must be purchased by the learner. Participants will receive access to the Connected Camps Minecraft Server where the program will be run. To access the server, each learner will need the Java edition of Minecraft version 1.13. The "Minecraft for Windows 10 version", console editions, and pocket editions for mobile devices will not work for this course. A pair of headphones and microphone are also needed for communication with the class.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
Internet safety is a top priority for us and our goal is to create a safe, connected community of learners that is moderated by our instructors. Throughout our programs we strive to educate our learners on internet safety and best practices for connecting online. In our programs, our learners are often making friendships and connections with others in class and while we encourage positive online friendships we think it’s important to practice these principles of internet safety: — Do NOT ask others to connect online outside of our programs without first confirming with your parents. Our programs are a safe, moderated space for learners to engage but we can’t moderate connections outside of our classes. — Do NOT give away personal information which includes but is not limited to: your name, address, phone number, passwords, location, email address, and parental information. — If an individual asks for personal information, you should inform a counselor or your parent for guidance.
Our mission is to build a global online community where kids build, code, play, and learn from one another. We tap the power of youth tech experts to teach and mentor, and have served thousands of kids through our online and community-based...
