About This Activity
Required: Experienced with Minecraft and interested in programming. This MODDING camp can be taken repeatedly! Kids NEVER reach the end. When taken multiple times, campers are challenged to write more complex code and build more mods, all NEW. Did you know that Minecraft was built using Java code? If you aspire to be the greatest Minecraft warrior of all time, this camp is for you. While building a variety of mods (games within the game) using a code editor that supports both drag-and-drop and text-based programming in a single environment, you learn valuable real-world programming skills. The code editor allows campers to learn at their own pace while participating in a group and teaches fundamental concepts like algorithms, data types, variables, and loops. Explore your creativity through real computing and have a blast sharing mods with your friends! NO Minecraft or Modding account is needed for THIS CAMP as we have licenses ready for in-class use. With our licenses, campers can work in groups and interact with each other in their game. Email communications from our site may be blocked by YOUR email provider's spam filter.
