Coding for Kids: Learn to Code Minecraft Command Blocks - Video Game Design Coding Software - Computer Programming Courses, Ages 9+ (PC, Mac Compatible)

Got this for my kids, and since they already had the game, they were up and running directly.

I liked that this came as an actual card instead of just a digital code. I got this to use with one of my homeschool kids.

Minecraft command blocks are sources of unlimited power or control depending on the code behind them. Video tutorial style seems to fit what kids are used to with YouTube. I wouldnt ask my 13 yo to go figure it out, I would stay available to help unstuck him when he overlooks an error.

I love that this is fun and learning mixed together. My son took interest to it once he realized he was learning to design items in his game. It makes me feel like I’ve given him something to put his mind to, instead of mindless game playing. Coding is popular with Minecraft and this gives a step by step on how to make things.

I got this for my son because he likes both Minecraft and coding. What I did not know is that this is based on Minecraft Java Edition, which my son does not have. So now he cant even use this until he gets Minecraft Java Edition. It would have been nice to know this ahead of time, so I could have set up to have that as well.

TLDR; 100% online course; requires creating accounts, seems easy enough to follow for my 10yr old kid

My son loves Minecraft, so in the hopes of sneaking in some education, I ordered this for him. The set up is pretty typical, just create an account and off you go. While you could probably search for similar lessons on YouTube or elsewhere, its nice to have them in one place, especially when its for a 9 year old who learns better when everything is given in a seamless order. Its definitely holding his attention, as hes gone back to it repeatedly over his holiday break!

My 10 year old has been really interested in coding and this was a great place for him to start. He truly is a beginner and this program has taught him the basics and even held this adult noob. It was really easy to install and easy to understand and they made it fun. Highly recommend

Our 13yo son lives and breathes Minecraft and we thought this would be a fun way to convert his playtime into learning time. Clear instructions. Im a software engineer by training and this is a nice intro to coding.

I thought this was a great idea and could work well. I do networking as a profession and never got into coding which I really wanted to. I could never find the time so I tried this to get started. The only thing is it did not keep my interested long enough to stick with it. If I have time, I may take this up again in the future.
