This class is taught in English.

Students will build digital fluency skills, promote community, encourage a coding mindset, and develop computational thinking skills while completing Units 1 to 10. 

Unit 1: Computing with Minecraft: The Agency and Basic Moves and The Agent (Sequencing and Variables)
Six activities where learners will learn how to Code the Agent using on-chat commands to move in different directions.

Unit 2: Computing with Minecraft: City Planner ( Coordinates/Positions and Loops)
Three activities where learners will explore new coding blocks and how they can assist them when building in Minecraft.

Unit 3: Computing with Minecraft: Parks and Recreation ( Sequencing, Loops and Variables)
Three activities where learners will expand their knowledge of MakeCode as they code their Agent to build a park in their Minecraft city.

Unit 4: Computing with Minecraft: A Zoo (Loops and Functions) 
Three activities where learners will explore how code can be used to facilitate imagination and creativity. Students will focus on creating code with increasingly complex code while using the BUILDER blocks.

Unit 5: Computing with Minecraft: Wind Power ( Functions and Abstraction)
Three activities where learners will expand on their fluency in coding to create a wind farm.

Unit 6: Coding FUNdamentals 1: Sea Turtle Assistance (Algorithms, sequencing, and loops)
Five activities where learners must clean up sea turtle nesting grounds by coding the Agent. (Algorithms, sequencing, and loops)

Unit 7: Polar Bear Rescue (Sequencing and Conditional loops)
Four activities where learners utilize pseudocode to help them plan out their program to help the polar bear cub find its family. 

Unit 8: Gray Wolves  ( Nested Loops)
Four activities where learners test and code the Agent to secure the livestock at the farm from the gray wolves.

Unit 9: Ganymede & Saturn’s Ring  (Boolean logic)
Five activities where learners utilize Boolean logic in conditionals in their code to obtain rock samples from Ganymede and precious metals from Saturn’s ring.

Unit 10: Running out of time: Dinosaur Run   ( Events and Variables) 
Three activities where learners combine different event blocks to sneak past the dinosaur, navigate through the temple, and use the Time Gate to teleport back.
