Programming Block-Based Ender Pearls in Minecraft

Average rating:5.0Number of reviews:(30)
Just as natural pearls grow from grains of sand that have irritated oysters, these Minecraft programming pearls have grown from various challenges that have irritated me from computer graphics programming and mathematics. This class challenges learners with weekly problems that they must solve using the block-based programming language offered by Minecraft: Education Edition.
Class experience
This is an ongoing advanced problems class. I recommend that before taking this class you first take the Minecraft programming curriculum with me. Each week I will have a problem prepared for the students to solve. In the first 10-15 minutes of the class I will use a lecture format to present the problem and the tools needed to solve the problem, I might use presentation aids like slides and pictures. Next, I will ask them to help me to write some pseudo-code to solve the problem. Once we...
Model how computer hardware and software work together as a system to accomplish tasks. Determine potential solutions to solve simple hardware and software problems using common troubleshooting strategies. Describe basic software problems using accurate terminology. Use data to highlight or propose cause-and-effect relationships, predict outcomes, or communicate an idea. Compare and refine multiple algorithms for the same task and determine which is the most appropriate. Create programs that use variables to store and modify data. Create programs that include sequences, events, loops, and conditionals. Decompose (break down) problems into smaller, manageable subproblems to facilitate the program development process.
I recommend having two monitors, one so that you can see my screen and the other to use while you play. I also recommend taking this class with a mouse and keyboard, not an iPad.
