Weekly Minecraft Coding Club: Don’t just let your children play Minecraft; get them coding with it! In this live online weekly class, the students will be taught to code using Minecraft, in a block-based programming language (Microsoft MakeCode). In this 1 hour weekly class, students will be taught to code using Minecraft. Every week, there will be a new exciting, action-packed project with builds and mobs of all sorts!
