Mini Session

Coding & Game Creation with Minecraft Education & Roblox Studio (Grades 2–8)

Description:
Dive into the exciting world of coding and game design in this hands-on, creative class tailored for students in grades 2 through 8! Using the popular platforms Minecraft Education and Roblox Studio, students will learn to code, design interactive games, and build immersive virtual worlds.

​

Through Minecraft Education, younger students will be introduced to coding fundamentals using block-based coding and visual logic, while older students can explore more advanced concepts like Python or JavaScript in a familiar, engaging environment. With Roblox Studio, students will bring their game ideas to life using Lua scripting, gaining real-world programming skills while developing their own playable 3D games.

​

Each session combines creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration as students:

• Learn coding fundamentals and game design principles

• Build custom Minecraft challenges and Roblox games

• Work on individual and team-based projects

• Test, play, and share their creations

No prior experience is required—just imagination and a love for games! Projects are designed to scale in complexity based on grade and experience level, ensuring every student is challenged and supported.
