Enjoy the best free Minecraft classes for kids online
Free virtual Minecraft coding classes can unleash kids’ creativity using the game they already love. Minecraft is a video game full of adventure and limitless possibilities where characters build, mine, battle mobs, and explore the ever-changing Minecraft landscape. Using Minecraft as a tool, these free classes deliver top-quality learning and develop students' computational thinking, while keeping coding fun and engaging.
Our curriculum, designed by experts from Stanford, MIT, and Code.org, and featured by Minecraft Education, uses a combination of structured puzzles and open-ended projects to allow students to focus on learning specific new knowledge points, and to be very creative and have a lot of freedom when doing open-ended projects. In a small group setting led by a live expert online, your child will get introduced to the platform and how to code using it. They’ll also complete their first challenge: save a village or build their first mod! Start with the free class that matches your child’s age: Modding Quest (Grades 2-5) or Code to Mod (Grades 4-7).
