Get ready to build a winter wonderland! In this camp, participants will use Minecraft to create snowy landscapes and holiday-themed structures, while learning fundamental game design and coding principles.

Learning outcomes

Participants will develop their spatial reasoning and design skills by building complex 3D structures in Minecraft. They will also explore basic coding principles through Minecraft mods, learning how to automate tasks and create interactive game elements. The camp encourages collaboration as kids work together to create a shared virtual world, while also fostering creativity and logical thinking.

Information for parents

Whether your child is completely new to coding and robotics, or has completed a BlueShift camp or course before, this course is perfect for them!

 

Camp structure

This is a sample schedule for a typical day at camp. In between each lesson there will be a 15-minute snack break, or a 1-hour lunch and play break.
10.00 - 11.00
Lesson 1
First off we'll get to know our teacher and classmates through some great mini games. Once we're all friends, we'll be introduced to our activity for the day. Let's jump in to coding!
11.15 - 12.30
Lesson 2
Now that we've had a healthy snack, we're ready to get right back into our activity. We'll carry on flexing our creative muscles by designing, coding and building our project.
13.30 - 14.45
Lesson 3
Let's refocus after lunch and playtime by diving into building our robots!
15.00 - 16.00
Lesson 4
It's time to finish off our project for the day and show it off to the rest of the class. Time has flown by - let's tidy up our work stations, pack up our things and get ready to go home!
I liked making my robot move!
