Parental Guidance
In this Introduction to Redstone in Minecraft class, the content is designed to be engaging and educational, but it's important to be aware of certain aspects that might be unsettling for some learners.
Explosives: Some redstone mechanisms involve TNT or other explosive elements. While the class focuses on building and creativity, these elements might be startling or unsettling for some learners. If a learner chooses to use TNT in their creations, they should be advised to handle it carefully within the game to avoid accidental destruction of their projects or surroundings.
Complex Mechanisms: Building intricate redstone contraptions can sometimes be challenging. Students should be encouraged to ask for help if they find any part of the process overwhelming.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! My name is Erick. I have a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Furman University. I'm an online teacher, a martial arts instructor with black belts in Judo and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, a business owner, and most recently, an aspiring author. I live at the beach in Florida with my wife (also an Outschool teacher!), our science-loving son, and our cuddly cat.
I believe learning should be fun and engaging and my teaching style definitely reflects that! My goal as a teacher is to inspire, empower, and entertain students while teaching things I'm passionate about - business, finance, martial arts, fitness, and video games. In my classes, be prepared for lots of laughter and silliness in addition to learning.
I hope to see you in the classroom!Reviews
