What better way is there for students to learn Computer Science than in the context of their favorite video game?
Minecraft is a huge sandbox and game playing platform. The landscape stretches infinitely in all directions. It extends up into the hills and mountains, and down into dark caverns filled with lava and treasure. Minecraft allows us to teach both designing and coding skills to learners.
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.
In this session, subject to availability of time, our goal is to use project-based learning to cover important computer science & art/design concepts like:
Events & Event Handling
Coordinates
Variables
Iteration
Conditionals
Functions and Parameters
Arrays
Artificial Intelligence
Patterns and Motifs
Building Architecture
Comics & Stories
