Game Design with Minecraft Ages 10-15 PM
Workshop | Available
It’s never too early to start developing design and problem-solving skills, and this Minecraft course is the perfect place to start. Your innovator will visualize, plan, and create a playable map in Minecraft. Imagine, build, play.
In this course, students are taught level building basics via gameplay. Rather than just "playing" Minecraft, students are encouraged to think critically about storytelling and engaging the user. Minecraft teaches students spatial reasoning, engineering concepts, and even helps build hand-eye coordination. With guided instruction, students can go beyond mining for gold and learn simple game programming concepts including Redstone levers and command blocks. This course serves as a fun, educational alternative to having your child play Minecraft at home.
