Minecraft Modding: World & Character Development

100%

by Silicon STEM Academy

Denver, CO

Calling all Minecrafters! If your kiddo is crazy about Minecraft, then this camp will take their passion to the next level by teaching them how to create their own “mods” (short for modifying) to use in their Minecraft worlds. Campers learn how to customize their Minecraft games by creating whole new worlds, biomes and characters. New this year is that campers will use a drag & drop Java-based code editor called MCreator - enabling an easy to use and highly dynamic mod developer interface. Additionally, the program provides an introduction to Java programming required to bring their mods to life. Parents note that Game Design is often considered a gateway to learning to code! If your kiddo loves this camp, try Coding 101 or Vex BattleBots!

CODING 101

100%

by Silicon STEM Academy

Denver, CO

Ready to become a real coder? In this camp, you’ll go beyond drag-and-drop and learn how to type out real code—just like the pros do! You’ll solve fun challenges and puzzles by learning how to talk to computers using a language called Karel (used by Stanford students!). You’ll master cool coding tricks like loops, “if this, then that” commands, and more. It’s like learning a secret language that makes your ideas come to life on screen. Perfect for curious kids who love games, challenges, and using their brainpower to create something awesome! This curriculum uses Stanford University's Karel programming language, a pre-JavaScript language that serves as a prerequisite for incoming university freshmen. Recommended for ages 10+, or some 9-year-olds with strong keyboarding skills. Note that if your kiddo is enthusiastic about learning to code, but perhaps not the best typer yet...we recommend using the TypingClub.com learn-to-type online and gamified learning tool. It's free and highly effective! The next coding class in the progression is Python Programming - one of the most widely used programming languages in the world.
