Stop building block-by-block, and start building line-by-line! This intensive coding course uses the familiar world of Minecraft as the ultimate 3D output environment. Students will learn the fundamentals of html, CSS, JavaScript, and Scratch, real-world programming languages, to directly control and manipulate the game. Inspired by the structured projects in Coding for Minecrafters, students will build a website, animate characters, add music, and build a game. Students will need to have a laptop with Minecraft, Notepad++ (for Windows)/TextEdit (for macOS), and Google Chrome.
