We just got Minecraft for Nintendo Switch - would this class be appropriate for my child to take to learn how to play the game? (Minecraft Level Design & Engineering Online Camp) -

I'm pretty sure the Switch version is Bedrock edition, not Java edition, so it would not work for this class. See https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/360034753992-Different-Minecraft-Editions -

Hi. My son hasn't done Minecraft before but would like to take this class. He has done coding in Scratch. What should we buy? Minecraft Java Edition on minecraft.net? Also should he have experience playing Minecraft before the class starts? Thanks! (Modding in Minecraft - Live Online Summer Camp) -

Hi there! Yes, he should be fine especially if he has done some coding in Scratch already. That's right, you should buy Minecraft Java Edition, which is a lifetime license, on minecraft.net. Here's a really helpful setup video guide we've shot that should help: https://vimeo.com/426460358 . Also, great intuition, it's ideal if he can spend a little time getting used to Minecraft on the computer before class starts. Thank you! -

How is this course differentiated for a kindergartener vs a 6th grader? In other words will this class be too difficult for a kindergartener? (Mathcraft, Math + Minecraft - Online Summer Camp) -

That's a great question. So the course is actually split into younger and older grades, and in the MathCraft Minecraft Server built for this class, there are different areas that are sectioned off for different scaffolded grade levels, and each of these areas contains math projects and math games that are grade level appropriate. When Minecraft Math projects are being built, older students like a 6th grader works on basic algebra and geometry, say in building a parthenon and finding the perimeter, surface area, and volume, while younger students such as a K or 1st grader works on building a house and counting the number of blocks around the house to find length and width, and then counting these up to find the perimeter. Classes are small enough to be able to break them up into groups by grades. -

If this course is provided online, what are the activities that are implemented to account for remote access? (Mathcraft, Math + Minecraft - Online Summer Camp) -
asked on Mar 27, 2020
May 19, 2020 - Evan Boorman
This course utilizes a special Minecraft Server where CodeREV houses its MathCraft worlds, which it has built custom over 6 years of honing and testing over thousands of campers and students. So each student joins the secure server with a couple of clicks at the start of their camp once they've been invited, and then class takes place together as a group, led by the MathCraft teacher inside of the server. The way that this takes shape is that students and campers interact together and work together building math projects, being guided in-game by their live instructor, but they also work together to complete fun MathCraft mini games we've created, where they work together to solve math problems as they explore mazes and castles like the MathCraft Mansion and Haunted MathCraft Castle. Campers can see the lesson that their MathCraft teacher demos to them by viewing these in-game inside CodeREV's Minecraft server, or also through our screen share using Zoom Enterprise. -

My son is already familiar with Roblox Studio and have been creating Obbies on his own.

Hi there - thanks for your question! Yes, we do differentiate the course for those who are more advanced versus beginners. We group them together with different complexities of the projects that they are focusing on, with the more advanced campers doing the 'next level' of actions to create more complex game actions and learn to integrate those aspects into their games in a creative and imaginative way! No, he would not be going through the same content again if he takes this course for the second time. Rather, he would be building from where he left off from the end of his last class/camp. -

Thank you so much for your question. Roblox Coders will focus more on coding slightly more complex game actions for most campers, with fewer themes around Winter Break Camp than will Winter Break - Roblox Design & Code Camp". There is the option to design more unique elements which can be themed around winter in the Design and Code Camp option. I hope that helps answer your question! -
