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

This is just awesome.

Have had this for a few weeks for my (barely) 12 year old son. We sat down and watched the classes together the first day...and that was pretty much all my involvement. Hes been able to completely do this on his own. Even running into a problem, he just emailed Youth Digital and Courtney quickly sent back a friendly and informative reply (and even copied it to me, to which Im thankful for the safety factor!). It is VERY hard to get that kind of customer service in todays world! And when I sat down to review what he did to try and fix the problem he was having, my son knew SO much. I kept saying how I was impressed with how he could zoom in and out and around the program and how he knew exactly what the teacher was saying to repair. (I had no clue.) I have to admit, Im not a mom who was overly thrilled that my son was obsessed with Minecraft. But this is a win-win as Youth Digital has made a game he thoroughly enjoys into an educational learning experience. I no longer feel like hes wasting his time, but investing it! Thanks Justin and Courtney! From One Happy Momma!

Ten year old son loves it! He finds the video lessons entertaining and likes taking quizes in order to earn specialty items. My husband and I have no Java experience. When my son has questions, he emails the support team. I love that he is also learning to formulate his questions in order to get answers. We will be looking at Youth Digitals other courses too.

My 12 yr old son was fully engaged in this course from start to finish. He was able to problem solve any questions he had directly with the tech team, not needing my assistance at all! I loved his enthusiasm for it, and he would update me regularly which really helped me connect with his interest and get involved in the computer world he loves so much and that I have little experience in. He completed the course in a couple of months, but has gone on to add more mods and expand his learning! Great investment, we will try another course for sure.

Piece of crap!!!! Dont waste your money. I could not even begin this process! Could not get past a subscription charge of 249.00 to use my voucher code! Basically, I paid Amazon 159.00 for a box of stickers. Youth Digital has no customer service. You speak to a machine. I did receive an email once with directions that got me the same result NOTHING! PLEASE, PLEASE DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS PRODUCT.

DO NOT BUY THIS!!! Youth digital sold its software to Apex learning. You can not access the coding software at all unless your public school has purchased it. I was told to ask for a refund. My kids are so disappointed...

My 6 and 8 year olds are pair programming with this and loving it. Im picking up some Eclipse and JAVA along the way too.

Bought this on woot.com (actually owned by Amazon) several months ago for $150. Glad I didnt spend $250. This is supposedly targeted at 8-14 year old kids but my son says its really for 7 year old kids. Hes 14 but since hed done no programming at all, I thought this would be good for him. He watched the first few classes and basically put it down. Finally I got him to agree to watch if I watched with him. I get this is aimed at little kids but teacher (Justin?) says in 20 mins what could easily be said in 3 mins or maybe even less. I understand why he doesnt want to do this even tho hes a big gamer including an expert minecrafter. Once he gets thru the whole course, Ill likely update my review... he says hell definitely do it and it will help him in the long run but its just twooooo loooonnnggg winded.

This product is absolutely amazing! I couldnt be happier! The online tech support is quick, the videos are entertaining, and the lessons are very well-paced and interesting. Very well thought out!

This is a video based learning program. my son is 11 and said he didnt enjoy the videos too much. He only made it through Lesson 1 and lost interest.
