In this 1 week long camp, students will be taught to code using Minecraft. There will be lots of projects to cover, from magical mobs to Greek mythology, from fairground fun to witches and wizards, from amazing rainforests bursting with life to African safaris. Come join the fun with lots of different topics around which to build and learn to code. Daily Class Agenda: - Welcome and Introductions (5 minutes) - Overview of the topic (5 minutes) - Coding and testing in Minecraft (30 minutes) - Creative time tinkering code, decorating and experimenting (10 minutes) - Show and tell (5 minutes, but may be longer on Friday) - Wrap up and questions (5 minutes) 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. 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). Will NOT work with Chromebook or tablets other than Apple iPads. 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 really helpful, but not absolutely necessary.
