PLATFORM:
(Minecraft Java Edition for PC / Mac Only! Not compatible with Ipads, Kindles, Tablets, Phones, and Game Consoles)

SKILL LEVEL:
This program is meant for Basic level players. This program requires Basic reading comprehension, Moderate proficiency with computers, and some prior experience with Minecraft. Additionally, campers will need typing and hotkey proficiency, along with basic arithmetic skills.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW:
Mini-games are a fun and exciting part of many games that add variety to your video game adventures. In this course, we'll show you exactly how to create Minecraft mini-games to enjoy with your friends. Like all Connected Camps programs, this class offers a project-based, exploratory classroom environment that sits at the intersection of learning and playing. After all, kids learn the most when they're having fun!

In creating your minigames, you’ll go through the same process that real-life game designers use to develop games like Fortnite and The Legend of Zelda. As you build and balance your games, you’ll also playtest and help your classmates to improve their own creations. 

During this class, you will discover:
— What basic game mechanics are, and how you'll use them in Minecraft to create your own games.
— The game design process and how to add variety to your mini-games.
— Why it's important to balance your games – and how you can do it to make your games fun and rewarding.
— How to use the basics of WorldEdit.
— How to create games like Ender Golf, Dungeon, Hide and Seek, and Capture the Flag in Minecraft.
— The different ways to troubleshoot a game and use others’ feedback to improve your own design. 

At the start of each session, we’ll explore new game design ideas and concepts to include in your creations. After playing a variety of mini-games, you’ll get a better understanding of how they work and what can be improved. Using the examples as inspiration, you’ll then design your own version of the mini-games and modify each one to perfection. 

You'll get feedback on your games from your classmates, so you can make them even better (and more fun!)

PARENTS: 
The game design process is a technique of constant refinement that real-life designers use to create their unique and engaging video games. In this course, students will get to tap into their inner creativity and explore this process with other game design enthusiasts. Through our discussions and hands-on time in Minecraft, your child will learn the principles of game design and increase their personal assessment, problem-solving, and interpersonal skills.

Our girls programs celebrate girls by encouraging individuality, collaboration, and creative problem solving. Our friendly atmosphere is the perfect antidote to the sometimes over-competitive and intimidating online social world. In our girls programs, all campers share something in common: being girls who love Minecraft and are ready for new friends and new adventures.

During class, we balance group discussion time with plenty of hands-on experience with other students, so students can cement what they’re learning and explore the topics they're interested in. We combine Minecraft with education so your child can engage their passions as they learn in a positive interest-driven environment. Please note that we will be asking for your camper's in-game username so that we can add them to our server's safelist.
