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!
