About This Activity
Semester 1 — FALL 2026 Minecraft Game Development & eSports Kid-Friendly Theme: Game Studio Directors! Students aren't just playing games — they're building them. In this semester, your child steps into the role of a real game developer with a mission to design, code, and launch their very own playable Minecraft world. Tools Used: Minecraft Education In the Fall semester, students dive into game design and computational thinking by building fully playable games inside Minecraft Education. They'll design custom characters, arenas, and interactive challenges — then put their creations to the test in class tournaments and mini-eSports competitions. Every student walks away thinking like a developer, not just a player. Semester 2 — SPRING 2027 Engineering & Robotics Kid-Friendly Theme: Inventing the Future! Big ideas deserve real tools. In the Spring, students become engineers and problem-solvers — building and programming actual robots that move, think, and compete. Tools Used: LEGO® SPIKE Essential & Prime Kits In the Spring semester, students get hands-on with one of the most exciting technologies in the world: robotics. They'll build and program LEGO SPIKE robots to complete engineering challenges, design innovative solutions, and showcase their inventions at our end-of-semester Robotics Market Showcase. Optional FIRST® LEGO® League competition prep included.
