Overview:
In this ongoing class, students will learn coding through project-based learning on Minecraft Education Edition. Each week we will have a coding project to accomplish. This means we will be coding and creating/destroying to achieve that objective. Basically doing some fun world-building projects in Minecraft!

This ongoing class is meant for beginners who want to learn to code while playing Minecraft in a stress-free environment. The students will be immersed in the Minecraft world where we will use block coding to learn some programming fundamentals. 

What Students Will Be Learning:
These classes will provide students with the foundations of programming. We will be learning about variables, functions, lists, the way code flows through our programs, and much more in a beginner-friendly way.
