Girls' Coding Camp in Minecraft: Learn Lua & Solve Coding Challenges (5-Session)

(Minecraft Java Edition for PC / Mac Only)
(Not compatible with Ipads, Kindles, Tablets, Phones, and Game Consoles.)

There’s trouble in our Minecraft spaceship and in order to survive, we need help from experienced programmers like you! In this all girls' camp you’ll put your programming skills to the test by coding robot helpers, fixing our spaceship, and surviving the dangers of space.

Like our beginner’s coding camp, you’ll get to take control and customize robots to complete different challenges. However, this time the challenges are more open-ended and you’ll need to use your critical thinking skills to design your own solutions.

In this camp, you will:

— Learn how to approach complex problems by adapting a programmer’s mindset.
— Advance through a series of story-driven challenges that will improve you Lua programming skills.
— Apply your understanding of code to create unique solutions and customize Minecraft robots.
— Team up with other students to share ideas and feedback in order to help each other survive the journey.

We’ll start off your adventure in the spaceship’s Cargo Bay where you’ll have to solve your first coding problem to escape the room. This unlocks the bio dome which is the perfect place to code robot helpers and mine for resources to survive. As you continue through the story and unlock new challenges, you’ll learn more about how code works and deepen your understanding of how programming can be used to solve problems.

You can then take what you’ve learned from this class to design your own robots and use them during independent play.

Comfort is important when it comes to learning and this girls-only camp is a space to connect with other girls like you to enjoy the best parts of Minecraft.

PARENTS: This is a camp for students to further explore the fundamentals of programming in a story-driven environment. We provide a constructive space for students to apply their understanding and solve complex challenges while they develop their critical thinking skills. Like real-life programmers, your child will get to evaluate situations, make decisions, and solve problems through coding.

This is a 5-session camp that lasts a week. We balance group discussion time with plenty of hands-on experience with other students. This way, students can cement what they’re learning and fully explore the topics they're interested in. By combining Minecraft with education, your child will be able to engage their passions as they have fun in a positive, interest-driven environment. 

Your child will also have access to the computercraft mod after the session and can continue to play with robots in Minecraft.

Our girls-only camps celebrate girls by encouraging individuality, collaboration, and creative problem solving. Our friendly atmosphere is the perfect antidote to the sometimes over-competitive and intimidating online social world. In our girls program, all campers share something in common: being girls who love Minecraft and are ready for new friends and new adventures.

This camp is designed to be for intermediate coders. If your child is not experienced with coding in either Minecraft or in general, we recommend that you take our beginner’s camp first.
