Overview

Learning Goals

Intro to Coding with MIT Scratch

Students adventure through code as they begin building animations, games, music, videos. They sculpt their coding muscles in this coding adventure and leave having learned to code using this very easy to use tool for block-based coding from MIT.

Learn the basics of Visual Block Programming using MIT Scratch & ScratchJr

Acquire basic programming skills and coding concepts that professional programmers use in their daily work
Harness opportunity to think, to imagine, to explore, to create while having FUN!

Learn and apply computational thinking concepts to create games or animations.

Modding in Minecraft

What better way is there for students to learn Computer Science than in the context of their favorite video game?

Students get to go beyond just playing Minecraft, they get to program it! They create mods in Minecraft by learning programming concepts and applying them to realize their ideas.

Learners start their modding journey using drag-and-drop blockly programming and then graduate to JavaScript.

Once the mods are created these can be tested in a simulator and exported to a private multiplayer Minecraft server.

We are always excited to see what amazing ideas and “mods” students come up with!

Our son absolutely loved Wize Academy. We did the 3D printing class, despite having had no experience with TinkerCAD or any other kind of design tool. For 3 (and more, had we let him) hours per day, he was absolutely enthralled. Cole, the teacher for this segment, was the perfect combination of inspirational, directive and kind. Highly recommend this course to other parents, even if your little one hasn't done anything with 3D design before.

We use an online tool for modding and will provide a login and password. If the Child has a license to Java Edition/windows that is a bonus not a must. They can test their mods independently in Minecraft but if they don't have it the instructor can help the students. -
What age group is the Intro to Coding and Modding in Minecraft class for? The listed age group is extremely broad. (Intro to Coding & Modding in Minecraft) -

This class is well suited to kids who are just getting started with coding. That said, we are project based and are able to cater to a varied age range. Elementary students will benefit from this class especially the younger grades. We have a wide range of classes to offer. Please contact us for further help. Info@wizeacafemy.com -
