THE RESULT OF LEARNING IN MINECRAFT:

• The child will learn the Python programming language and its application to the game environment of Minecraft;
• Will master the syntax of the Python language, code structure, conditions and data types;
• Will learn how to link program code with objects inside the game of Minecraft

Python / Minecraft – programming for kids ages 8-16 – play and learn

Your child wants to play on the computer? You should not forbid him, just direct his interest in the right direction. There is a special development environment for learning programming based on Minecraft and the Python programming language. Thanks to the craving for this game, your child will learn the basics of programming, which will be useful to him in the future to build a career in the world of IT.

Minecraft curriculum

Students are taught to program in the Minecraft environment using one of the most advanced and in-demand programming languages, Python. For younger children without training, we teach Minecraft in Scratch. The incentive is the ability to level up a hero in minutes.

Learning online one-on-one with a teacher, the child will develop algorithmic thinking, learn to understand the connection between the program he personally created and what happens in the game Minecraft, write algorithms and find errors in them. By the end of the course he will have implemented several projects of his own using programming.

Apply to an online course

Our online school instructors provide instruction in a welcoming environment, keeping children’s skills and interests in mind, observing progress, and giving constant feedback. Build your child’s programming skills by giving them the foundation for professional growth.
