CodaKid students are learning essential 21st century skills in our Minecraft coding courses. Using Minecraft to teach coding for kids is an approach known as the “carrot-stick” method that many educators actually approve of. This method basically uses the reward (or the thought of the reward) to motivate learners to accomplish their goals.
It`s much preferable—and much more rewarding—than the alternative method, which uses the threat of failure as motivation.
When students find out how fun and satisfying it is to make Minecraft mods, they’ll then be willing to put in the hard work to learn Java. They`ll learn the fundamentals of programming, essential coding concepts, and coding best practices by coding Minecraft mods. So instead of seeing programming as a linear, standard course with a lot of technical jargon and little to no instant entertainment, they’ll see coding as a means to achieve so much more.
So, that`s a yes to both questions. By playing Minecraft, they’ll learn important computer science skills such as coding and debugging. In fact, learning how to code also inspires a myriad of other valuable life skills: problem solving, solution testing, attention to detail, and so on.
