Greater than one weekThis program makes it easy to learn the basic coding structure. It allows my kids to create mods for Minecraft, relatively easy. I like that it is using Java as that is the direction coding is continuing to move. Whether you are into Minecraft or not this program can help.

> 3 dayI know nothing about coding, but I bought this for my nephew since hes really into computer games. He said there are some parts that are easy but hes gotten stuck in a few areas and it took him awhile to figure it out. Overall he enjoys it.

> 3 dayI love the easy to follow instructions provided, the videos, and help available. I took these classes as an adult learner and had no problems, but I feel like some students would need help with some of the steps and vocabulary, maybe just a little supervision. There are a lot of steps involved, but it is very satisfying once you are able to really get into it. It does take some time to devote, but I can’t wait to continue with the classes. They are so interesting, and I’ve learned so much already!

> 3 dayOverall this appears to be a great training lesson. It has a portal that guides you through the lesson sections and has great resources to assist as you go. The initial content appears to be very solid, but time will tell if my 10 year old picks it up. We did have some initial issues getting the software working but were able to resolve it pretty quickly. I will return later once my kid runs through the class to update my review, but initial impressions are great!

> 3 dayI love this online tutorial. My son has been bugging me everyday to get this card for him to do these tutorials so he can get better at coding, and what I like about it is that he doesnt need to have prior experience. My son loves these tutorials!!! I live that it has Live Mentor Support!!! Thank you!!! This is so easy to use!! If you have kids I would recommend it!!!

> 3 dayAs an adult who has a technical degree this is a decent program. My 12 year old needed a little instruction due to never coding. Overall I feel it is a beneficial program and hope to achieve some coding goals to help him with future opportunities.

> 3 dayI purchased this for my son as an activity work on during summer break when he has some free time. From the initial reaction that I have received so far, it is going to be a good learning tool. He is 10 and it does require some help as it is for older kids but he is learning and having fun.

> 3 dayGot this for my best friends 11 year old son who is REALLY into Minecraft. He was able to install easily and was off and running in no time. He said it was easy to understand most of it and he learned a lot. I love that he was learning some coding along the way, while doing something he really enjoyed. It may be better for like 12 and up because he did get stuck a few times but overall he was able to put it to use pretty quickly.
