Class Experience

In this 90 minute class, students will be taught to code using Minecraft, in Ancient Egypt! They will take a journey with us down the Nile, explore the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx, and take a journey down the Valley of Kings and perhaps even dig up some mummies! We will even make a game of husks vs. skeletons and see who wins!

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.
