Campamento de invierno de Minecraft Coding 4 Kids

Welcome to Minecraft Coding 4 Kids, a fun and engaging course that combines the popular game Minecraft with the exciting world of coding. In this course, students in grades 2-4 will learn the basics of programming using Minecraft Education's built-in code editor. Over the course of five days, our student-centered learning approach with collaborative projects will provide an introduction to programming, virtual agents using programming & AI, communication, and cooperation.

Throughout the program, participants will be encouraged to build free-form projects while learning how to use Code Builder tools, design games, solve problems, and set goals. Students will be taught how to identify situations where code can work for us, as well as how to communicate and cooperate effectively with others.

Our course is structured to provide maximum learning and engagement for young learners. Each class meeting is three hours long, with classes held once a day for five days. During this time, students will interact with the instructor, as well as each other, through various activities, including lecture, games, slides, video clips, and discussions. All of these activities are designed to help students develop their problem-solving and critical-thinking skills, while also encouraging them to be creative and innovative in their approach to learning.

No prior programming experience is necessary for this course, as we will start with the basics and work our way up. However, participants should be comfortable using keyboards or touchscreens to read and follow instructions. By the end of the course, students will have a strong foundation in programming concepts and will be able to apply what they have learned to other areas of their lives.

Our course curriculum covers a wide range of topics, including an introduction to programming with Code Builder, the basics of virtual agents using programming & AI, identifying situations where code can work for us, and communication and cooperation. Our teaching style is student-centered and collaborative, with a focus on problem-solving and critical-thinking skills. Students will be encouraged to work together on projects, share their ideas and solutions, and learn from each other's successes and challenges.
