Description

In this exciting week-long Minecraft & Computer Science Camp, students will learn problem-solving and design skills by using command blocks and redstone to build projects with programming logic.

Using Minecraft's Redstone blocks, which act as wires on a breadboard, students explore electronics in a virtual world with infinite resources and build constructs representing electrical circuits and computer projects.  This camp teaches programming logic without requiring a new language, making it the perfect foundation for computer science. Students start with hands-on activities to learn vital concepts, then use our drag-and-drop interface to create programs, solve problems, and reinforce coding fundamentals while learning functions, variables, conditionals, and more.  

Campers will design large-scale Minecraft elevators, roller coasters, and electrical circuits, gaining understanding of how computers process commands and learning skills that serve as a precursor to real circuitry and electronics. With our experienced instructors, students develop coding and redstone engineering skills in a fun, creative environment, and take home their creations.



Bring a snack, lunch and drink.
