What is the Minecraft Coding Intensive?

The Minecraft Coding Intensive (MCI) is a program for teens to learn programming on Minecraft. This specially designed curriculum takes a beginner without any programming experience to coding mods on Minecraft. The incremental curriculum ensures that fundamental programming concepts are gradually introduced and reinforced at every lesson. Students will code on a beginner language in the first two classes to gain solid understanding on programming, and then proceed to code with Javascript on Minecraft for the rest of the course.

This gives the student a progressive learning experience from coding beginner to a Minecraft coder. Please contact us so we may advice you personally.
