On this course children will explore computer programming and game design using Minecraft Education Edition, a version of Minecraft designed for classroom use. They'll create their own modifications (mods) for Minecraft using the built-in code editor and then, test their projects together with their group. The course balances computer science education with play (or “testing”) to create a rich learning experience.
