Class experience
The class gives students an opportunity to learn a new redstone circuit or contraption! Students will work either in a group or by themselves to create a redstone contraption and incorporate it into the week’s build theme. Students may be amusement park tycoons; restaurant owners; pirates with their own working cannons! Each week, we will introduce a new theme and skill. It is recommended that students have some prior experience with redstone, hoppers, droppers, dispensers, pistons, etc....
