Modding With Minecraft (Level 2 Coding)- Ages 9-13 by Code2Discover

1 Photo

Overview

Level 2 Coding Class Ages 9-13--Students should have taken one of my beginner classes OR have participated in a coding program with another organization. Although they may not be fluent in any coding language, they should be able to recognize coding terms like loops, logic (IF/THEN), and variables.

----------------------------

Students in this class learn to use coding to make fundamental changes to what is possible in Minecraft. They give new powers to players and even learn how to change the entire look of the game. Students are also introduced to Javascript programming.

--Students learn how to use a drag and drop programming language called Blockly. Blockly converts their code into Javascript and is a great way to set students up for more advanced programming.

--Throughout the class, students analyze how Blockly and Javascript compare. In one lesson, students are shown how they can edit the actual Javascript to create more advanced programming.

--To create amazing Mods, students are shown how to use programming loops, logic (IF/THEN), functions, and more!

--Students are even challenged to program Minecraft drones to encourage spatial reasoning.

A Minecraft Java Edition account (also called PC/MAC Version) is required for this program. See below.

Students use a program called Learn to Mod to help them create their mods. Students must purchase a Learn to Mod account prior to the beginning of class. The cost of this program is currently $29.99 for a year subscription. - https://www.learntomod.com/

My son loves these classes! He has taken three different courses with Shawn so far. He learns a lot and loves applying what he learned in class to his own projects outside of class. He often asks, "How many days until my next class?". He finished his third course on Friday and is already anxiously awaiting the next course.
Thank you Shawn! :)
