Beginner Level
🌟Minecraft may look simple at first glance, but there's so much more beneath the surface (mainly caves). This 16-week class is designed for students who are new to the game or have mostly explored creative mode and want to dive into the exciting world of survival. Minecraft offers no tutorials or guidance, which can make it overwhelming to navigate alone. Whether you’ve just got the game or haven't played much survival, this class is a great place to start. 🏆Our team has been playing for a long time, and has helped many people learn Minecraft survival skills. We're excited to help you build confidence and master the game in a fun, supportive environment. Throughout the course, we’ll work together to explore the game’s many features, from crafting to surviving hostile mobs and building a cool base just the way you like it! 🫱🏾🫲🏼Our class is designed to be inclusive and welcoming for everyone. Whether you’re a first-time player or looking to expand your Minecraft skills, your voice matters. Every student will have the opportunity to ask questions, share ideas, and collaborate in a space where learning is fun! 🎮Minecraft is not just about blocks and tools; it’s about creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving. This class is a chance to make new friends, build together, and explore the world in an inviting space where you can be yourself. ☺️ Safety is our priority. Our classes are inclusive spaces where each child gets the chance to showcase their skills and creativity. Your kid's voice and space is protected — whether they’re exploring, building, farming, or battling!
