My kids – all three of them! – are HUGE Minecraft fans.  They currently only play Minecraft Pocket Edition on their Kindles, but I think for Christmas, I’m going to get them set up to play Minecraft on the computer.  I’m no Minecraft expert, but from what they tell me, there are more options and “mods” when playing Minecraft online.

I actually love their interest in Minecraft; I can see that there is so much potential for creativity and learning while playing it.

But honestly, it’s all beyond me and my knowledge base.  That’s why I’m excited to learn about this new program to make sure my kids are learning when they’re playing it.  It’s designed specifically to teach kids to code with Minecraft!

First: WHY Should We Teach Kids to Code?

Teaching kids to code is all the rage right now.  There is so much potential for creativity and learning once kids have this technological skill.  Here are 5 reasons to teach kids to code…

  1. Ideas will become reality.  If they can dream it, they can build it with a computer!
  2. Code is one of the world’s most used languages.  Across the world, coders are using the same language to build websites and programs for others to use.
  3. Kids learn faster when they are young.
  4. Coding encourages critical thinking and problem solving.
  5. Open your child to possibilities.  With coding experience, kids can apply for computer science internships and jobs.

But… I wouldn’t know the first thing about teaching my kids to code!  I only know very, VERY limited coding.

ENTER Youth Digital’s Mod Design Program.  IT’S MISSION: (Along with all of Youth Digital’s programs) to empower kids to create with technology.  

A Child Learning How to Code with Minecraft - Your child can, too!

Your Minecraft-loving kids will learn to modify the game with this year-long online course that will teach them programming with Java™.  Through the course, kids will code their own Minecraft mod from start to finish and watch as the end result becomes a unique, shareable Minecraft mod that they built from scratch all by themselves.  Sounds super cool to me!YouthDigital Educents1

More Specifics: 

  • Perfect for Minecraft kids ages 8 to 13.
  • Kids learn at their own pace.
  • Lessons are easy to follow (with very minimum adult help needed).
  • Students must already have Minecraft for PC or Mac.

Youth Digital’s courses are available at a discount on Educents.com!  Might be a great gift for some summer learning for your Minecraft fan, don’t you think?!
