Does your child love Minecraft? This awesome 1-hour free event will introduce your child to another dimension of Minecraft - Learn Coding!. We will setup Minecraft Education first and then get everyone started on a self-guided tutorial that teaches basics of block coding on Minecraft. Your child will be introduced to Minecraft coding by completing a series of challenges with code to save the future by solving mysterious mishaps in time.
For students who enjoy Minecraft or want to learn more advanced coding skills after Scratch coding, join our small group Minecraft Coding Quest classes with experienced teachers. We will go a lot deeper into Minecraft coding and build fun structures like super long roller coasters or Minecraft mini-games all with code! Learn and have a fun ride! :)
Notes - This free event covers the same content each time and will have many students attending unlike our small group classes which include 3-5 students max.

We will build several fun projects each time, while learning what a circuit is, how circuits work, and how to add more parts in a circuit to make sounds, light, and more! They will also learn sensors and advanced content such as integrated circuits.
"I really love this fun and interactive event. Me and my classmates had a blast sharing with each other and talking about how things work. The teacher was amazing and he helped me out so much. When a person was stuck on something he would help us out." shared our student Pavel.
