The course focuses on hands-on experimentation with a wide variety of Redstone Power Sources, Transmission Material and Powered Components, which students can use to build their own Redstone creations. 

Session 1: 
- What is Redstone? It's electricity in Minecraft! Redstone engineering consists of a power source, a transmission material, and a wide range of components that react to the current. 
- Comparison with real-life power sources, conductive materials and electrical components
- Building powered redstone lamps with redstone dust. Using different power sources to turn on the lamps (redstone torch, lever, button, pressure plate)
- Understanding the distance that the power can travel (in blocks)
- Understanding how Redstone power is distributed 
- Build a light-up dance floor with Redstone lamps and pressure plates
- Build a lamp post that lights up automatically at night using an inverted Daylight Detector

Session 2: 
- Using power sources: redstone block, target
- Building powered door, bell, fence gate and trap door
- Build a Redstone cannon that fires a block of TNT
- Build an archery skills challenge course that triggers different Redstone contraptions

Session 3:
- How to hide Redstone Circuits
- Using transmission material: redstone repeater
- Building constructions with a piston and sticky piston
- Build an automated melon farm harvester and cane sugar harvester using pistons

Session 4:
- Building constructions with rails, powered rails and activator rails
- Adding minecarts
- Build an amusement park featuring different Redstone-powered activities

We're dedicated to introducing young students to the amazing world of quantum physics, technological innovation and design! We've been offering STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art & Math) classes and creating educational materials for students of all ages for over 15 years. We're excited to share this course content with more students through Outschool.
