Teaching Methodology:

Our approach is project-based. We strongly believe that engaged, happy students are the best learners. Our projects have an end goal, and most are game based. We use coding to solve a problem, such as saving tombs from a skeleton and husk mob invasion. We have up to 6 student in this class, allowing the class to be interactive with lots of opportunities to ask questions and share knowledge. 

What you would need:

Please make sure that the learner has downloaded and installed Minecraft Education Edition prior to joining the class (available for PC/Mac/iPAD). Please check system requirements prior to booking with us if you're not sure.

Age Requirement: 

7 to 12

No prior coding experience necessary. Minecraft playing experience would be helpful, but not necessary.

Learning Goals

Learn block-based Microsoft MakeCode coding similar to Scratch
Use loops and conditionals (IF/THEN/ELSE)
Understand variables (number, Boolean, string)
Create and use functions
Use all of the above to make games and build structures
