This one-time course will introduce students to the basics of command block coding in Minecraft. Command blocks are the built-in coding language in every version of Minecraft, so there is no need for any other program. Students and parents will also get a taste of who I am and how I teach. I'm a long-time teacher of computer science, author, YouTube personality, and 2-time Minecraft Global Mentor. I call my approach "Hard Fun", because it uses a project-based, hands-on, just-in-time approach to maximize learning and fun! I believe that allowing students to learn concepts in the context of their own creations is the secret sauce for making learning stick. Of course, I guide them through the process and offer multiple resources to help them, including my own video series on YouTube. As well, I structure my classes so that students hit the ground running as soon as I approve their projects. Students always find me an engaging, challenging, and inspiring teacher.

Learning Goals
Students will be introduced to the basics of text-based coding, including variables, booleans, events, and conditionals within the context of their own minigame creations.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
For this one-time course, students should have a version of Minecraft that runs the Bedrock Edition. All of my future courses will use Minecraft: Education Edition, and a one-year license for that is included in the course fee.
Supply List
Students are provided a one-year license to Minecraft: Education Edition once they register in future courses. That will NOT be necessary for the one-time intro course. It will help for that if they have a version of Minecraft that uses the Bedrock version of Minecraft: Windows 10, Pocket Edition, Nintendo Switch. For my future courses, they will need to have a computer that runs both Minecraft: Education Edition and also Zoom.
