COURSE DESCRIPTION

CodaKid Minecraft 2 Core provides a deeper look at game development using Minecraft. Covering key computer programming concepts such as Complex Conditionals, Loops, Functions, Inheritance, and Randomization, we build a series of progressively more rigorous projects that build students’ understanding of computer science. Students will build exciting mods like lucky blocks, magic armor, custom biomes, and epic weapons.

CodaKid’s research-based, project based learning (PBL) approach to Minecraft 2 keeps the learning fun and engaging, while ensuring a solid foundation in CS

Upon successful completion of Minecraft 2 Core, CodaKid students will be ready to graduate to Minecraft 3 Core.

MINECRAFT 2 CORE CURRICULUM – AGES 9+

The Minecraft 2 Core course normally takes between 4 and 6 months to complete, depending upon course frequency, the student’s prior programming experience, and student’s dedication to our homework assignments.

Our student-centered teaching approach allows us to progress at the student’s pace and our homework assignments are designed to promote independent mastery of the concepts covered. The projects in Minecraft 2 Core are longer and more complex, and will produce more interesting mods that further enhance and alter gameplay.
