Hi, if your child has never taken one of your classes but loves Minecraft, can they attend the intermediate camp? (Summer Intermediate Minecraft Camp) -
asked on Feb 16, 2022

Hi! Yes, as long as your child is comfortable using Minecraft -- knows how to build and move around in the game, and is interested in learning how to create redstone circuits and use command blocks -- he will do fine in the Intermediate Minecraft camp. There will be some coding in the command block projects, but the teacher guides the students and as long as the student is comfortable with a keyboard, they will be successful. -

Yes, with this experience, he should be fine in the camp. Each day, the teachers walk students through projects, from redstone circuits to command blocks. Command blocks will involve typing of phrases and words. At end of each session, teachers invite students to access a common world where they build and interact. If that sounds like something your son would enjoy, please do register. If you have any questions, send email to campinfo@techknowhowkids.com or call 650 638-0500 -
