Students learn core programming and computer science skills in an engaging and familiar Minecraft environment, allowing them to build complex projects and explore virtual electronics.
In the STEM exCEL Minecraft Programming & Computer Science Camp, students delve into the world of computer science and programming through the popular game Minecraft. They learn problem-solving and design skills by utilizing Minecraft command blocks and redstone to construct various projects with programming logic. This virtual environment allows campers to explore fundamental electronics concepts in a hands-on and engaging way. The curriculum reinforces coding fundamentals by guiding students to design and implement large-scale Minecraft modifications, such as elevators and rollercoasters. Through these activities, students gain a strong foundation in computer science concepts and programming logic, preparing them for future technological learning.
A typical day involves hands-on activities that introduce vital programming concepts, followed by using a drag-and-drop interface to create programs, solve problems, and design games within Minecraft.
This camp is ideal for elementary school students (grades 1-6) who are interested in getting started with coding and love 3D games like Minecraft.
