Perfect for: Creative thinkers who love creating or playing games and interactive storytelling
16 weeks, 32 hours
Students will master computational thinking while creating their own interactive games:
Game design fundamentals: sprites, backgrounds, and game mechanics
Programming concepts including variables, loops, and conditionals
Physics simulation for realistic movement and interactions
Creating multi-level games with increasing complexity
Designing engaging user interfaces and scoring systems
Each student will develop a portfolio of original games they can share with friends and family, demonstrating their creativity and technical skills.
16 weeks, 32 hours
Students will transform from Minecraft players to Minecraft creators:
Programming with MakeCode to automate building and create interactive features
Designing immersive worlds with custom landscapes and structures
Creating in-game challenges and puzzles using computational thinking
Collaborating on multiplayer experiences with classmates
Learning basic command blocks and redstone circuitry concepts
The course concludes with students presenting their custom Minecraft worlds that demonstrate both creativity and coding prowess.
