Class Experience

Learn to apply computer coding concepts (such as events, absolute and relative positions, variables, iteration, conditionals, functions and arrays) through the Minecraft game and Microsoft MakeCode software. Whether the students are new to Minecraft or have been playing for years, they will learn to apply important coding skills and watch their coding creations come to life in Minecraft. Examples of the projects include programming the agent to help the player do various tasks, spawning different animals/monsters, copying structures, clearing areas with commands and more.
