Students design and build a city using code through Minecraft Education Edition. Students will apply their programming skills to construct a functional city in Minecraft with the Microsoft MakeCode software. The class will discuss the integral components of a city, and students will create programs to realize the components in their own city. During each session, students will build a portion of the city through coding and testing. The culminating project will be the student's own awesome unique Minecraft city. **Please click on the "Supply List" for the hardware and software requirements for this class. ** Daily Schedule: After the first 90 minutes of class, there will be a 15-minutes break, followed by another 75 minutes of class. • Module1- Agent Movin' and Grovin' - Introduce the Minecraft Code Builder - Program the movement of the Agent • Module2: Food!
