(NOT for Minecraft beginners, Campers should be experienced with Minecraft and have an interest in coding.) This camp is the perfect blend of fun and education, where campers learn to code games within the Minecraft environment using Java. With the help of a specially designed code editor, campers will learn to build their own Minecraft mods using both drag-and-drop and text-based programming. The camp is designed to challenge campers to progress from basic to advanced programming concepts, including algorithms, data types, variables, and loops, providing a strong foundation in real-world programming skills. The campers will have a great time sharing their mods with their friends, both inside and outside of the camp while exploring their creativity through real computing. This is a unique opportunity for children to learn valuable programming skills while having fun with Minecraft. All campers ARE REQUIRED to have a Minecraft™ account for this camp. Our camp uses Minecraft Java edition which is different from Minecraft (Bedrock) played on Xbox, Ipad, etc., or downloaded from the Microsoft Store. To purchase a Minecraft: Java account, use this link: https://minecraft.net/en-us/get-minecraft/ . ($29.99). Campers must check in on the first day with their login credentials for Minecraft to ensure a streamlined learning experience.
