FCPS Bush Hill Electronics with Minecraft Redstone (1-6)

School/location: Bush Hill, Classroom Location: Cafeteria

Course: Electronics with Minecraft Redstone

This Wednesday class does not meet on holidays and Bush Hill early release days

Electronics with Minecraft Redstone allows students to explore electronics in a virtual world with essentially infinite resources. Using Minecraft's Redstone blocks, which act as wires on a breadboard, students can build constructs representing electrical circuits and simple computer projects that are built in the real world. This course is a great precursor to understand real circuitry, electronics and electrical theory. This course allows students to gain an understanding of how computers are processing commands as they move on to other computer science studies, and take home their Redstone creations at the end of the course.
