Overview

This MinecraftEDU Coding Camp combines the creativity of Minecraft with block‑based coding to introduce young learners to programming concepts. Using Minecraft Education with MakeCode for Windows, campers learn to code with if‑then and while‑do statements, variables and loops. They apply these concepts to automate farming and mining processes in-game and build circuits and switches with Redstone to control objects or create fun TNT effects. Along the way, campers customize and program their own mobs, creatures, tools and weapons.

Benefits

2. Hands‑On Creativity – students design, customize and program in‑game items and creatures, encouraging creativity and problem‑solving.
   
   

3. Automation & Redstone Engineering – learners automate tasks like farming and mining and create circuits using Redstone to control objects or set off chain reactions.
   
   

4. Personal Attention – small class sizes and a 1:1 equipment ratio will ensure each student receives individual guidance.

5. Experienced Instruction – professional educators guide campers through lessons, ensuring a safe and supportive environment.
