About the Course
In this afterschool enrichment class, students in grades K–8 use Minecraft Education and Roblox Studio to explore the fundamentals of coding through game design and interactive worlds. Students learn how to plan, build, and refine their own games while practicing core concepts such as sequences, events, loops, and basic logic, all within platforms they already know and love.
Through guided challenges and creative projects, learners design custom maps, obstacles, and characters in Minecraft Education, then extend their skills by building and scripting experiences in Roblox Studio. Emphasis is placed on creativity, playtesting, and iteration so students learn to think like designers and problem-solvers as they debug and improve their work.
By the end of the program, each student will have a small portfolio of original Minecraft and Roblox projects that demonstrates growing confidence with coding, emerging technology, and imaginative game creation.
