Embark on a thrilling Halloween quest with Minecraft Education Edition! In this fun and interactive course, young explorers will gain the skills and confidence to code using Minecraft’s powerful tools. They will use their spooky creativity to build haunted mansions, eerie towers, and pumpkin-lit pathways, all while learning how to program their own magical mods. Get ready for a chilling adventure as they uncover the mysteries of coding and master the art of survival in a haunted world!
Learning outcomes
In this course, students will take their Scratch skills to the next level, learning to modify games, code collaboratively, and problem solve using block-based coding. Whether they are just starting their coding journey or have been working with Scratch for years, students will practise and develop a creative problem-solving mindset using code.
Children will also design their own game skins and help program the agent using block-based coding to complete tasks. They will learn to harness the power of Functions, Loops, Algorithms, and even explore introductory Machine Learning.
This course also requires children to develop reading skills, as they will need to read and understand instructions and code to succeed.
Information for parents
Whether your child is completely new to coding and robotics, or has completed a BlueShift camp or course before, this course is perfect for them! Bringing a laptop is recommended if possible as students learn more effectively with a device that they are familiar with.
Camp structure
First off we'll get to know our teacher and classmates through some great mini games. Once we're all friends, we'll be introduced to our activity for the day. Let's jump in to coding!
We'll have a short stretch and will begin our second activity. We might continue making our game or animation, especially, if we've spent some time planning our work with drawings and storyboards.
Now that we've had a healthy snack, we're ready to get right back into our third activity. We'll carry on flexing our creative muscles by designing, coding and building our projects.
Let's refocus after lunch and playtime by diving into building robots!
It's time to start our late afternoon activity. Usually we'll do something creative like digital art, practicing our digital skills by using the mouse to create art and animations.
Our last lesson of the day is an opportunity to finish up our work, recap on what we've learned today and tidy up ready for home time!
I love making my own mods and coding new stuctures with new friends!
