Minecraft Mod I Camp (Ages: 7-9)

Overview

So you want to mod Minecraft – that’s a great idea! You’re about to be transformed from a Minecraft player into a Minecraft maker, and in order to get there, you have to learn how to code. The task is quite simple, because you will use many of the skills you already have – logic, creativity, math, gaming, and problem solving – to design, build, test and share Minecraft mods. This camp teachers you everything, from building a large house to making a multiplayer game that you can play inside Minecraft with your friends.
