Youth Digital Mod Design 1 - Online Course for MAC/PC

My 10 year old son LOVED this!! He devoted every free minute to this class (even waking up early). He finished it in six weeks, and hes asking to start one of Youth Digitals other courses. He really learned a lot. Working with Java has taught him to pay more attention to detail in other areas (punctuation, spelling). It was definitely money well spent. I highly recommend it. Right now, you can save a little bit of money by just downloading it from Youth Digitals website, but you wont have a nice box to wrap.

My son loved Mod Design 1. It taught him about java and eclipse as well as giving him the knowledge to make mods for minecraft. He still uses that knowledge today making new mods. Highly recommend it.

I cant say enough about this course and about all the Youth Digital courses - they are awesome and I highly recommend them! The instructors are wonderful with the kids and available for help with questions and my son has learned so much about coding and programming through the courses he has taken. Mod Design I is just one of the courses he has taken with YD and we have nothing but positive to say. If you are waffling on buying this for your child, just do it! You wont regret it!

Im sure its a good program but Im sitting here on xmas day with my 10-year old son and I open the box and get a cheap card with a voucher code and cant get past the RECALCULATE button on their order page. The biggest day of the year to provide sales support and their website says they are all home with their families. Great. So they get this thumbs down evaluation. I hope I change my mind when they get back to work. My $250 purchase is zero return on the most important day to use it. Tomorrow I go back to work and may not have the time to open this program with him.

My daughter continue to have issues with the software. For now she is emailing the support on a daily basis without success. She is using a Macbook and we are having many problems with integration with the actual game

Excellent. The instructing is done so well for the 8-14 year old they have no idea that they are actually learning or taking a class. My 11 year old jumped right in, installed the software himself and looks forward to going to the next lesson each day. Terrific product!

I rarely bother to review anything, but we bought this for our 9 year old son for Christmas and he immediately became obsessed. I cant comment on the quality of the content, because my son really did all of the components independently (and my Minecraft and coding knowledge is limited). But I will say thank you to Youth Digital for putting together a program that was easy enough for him to move through independently and engaging enough to keep him involved to the end. He emailed questions to Youth Digital along the way, and always got quick and helpful responses. After submitting his final project he got a thoughtful and thorough review of his mod. A staff member had clearly taken the time to play through his design and note what worked and what didnt. That meant a lot to him.

My son (14) loved it! He thanked me week after week for buying it for him. It is pricier than most of the other courses we have bought for him to learn coding, but it was really quiet special.

No effective support. Takes days to get a reply and the only way to contact support is by their chat system which is not live. No child will find this kind of help to be appealing. Mine certainly dont. I honestly believe their claim to provide helpful teachers is a vacuous claim.

When the company youth digit owned and produced the product it worked wonderfully and was an awesome homeschooling tool. When youth digital was sold to APEX LEARNING it became part of a curriculum that they offer and the boxed software packaged by youth digital no longer works... DO NOT SPEND ANY MONEY ON THIS PRODUCT AS IT NO LONGER FUNCTIONS AND SHOULD NO LONGER BE SOLD BY ANY COMPANY WITH A CONSCIENCE.
