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

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.

Youth Digital is user friendly and has effective teaching techniques and excellent customer service. It was a positive self esteem promoting experience that resulted in a real Mod. And as the parent I witnessed my 9 year old childs level of satisfaction and personal pride reach new levels. Thank you Youth Digital. We have just started our second course.

Beware and read the fine print before purchasing. The course only lasts for 1 year from the time of activation. So make sure your child gets it done before the timer runs out. They say that you can extend it once but it isnt very clear on their site.

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

I bought this for my 8 year old grandson. He loves Minecraft and all things computer related. I thought this might help him learn to do something more useful than playing games. It is wonderful! My son and grandson work together on this and he is really learning to code using Java. It is not an easy program to use, but they have wonderul support available. I would recommend this for older children also, my 8 yo is probably the exception in his ability to master the concepts (no, that is not just proud grandma talk - this kid is AMAZING with computers and games). Overall, well worth the money and I plan to buy more of their products.

Bought this for a 10 year old girl who absolutely loves computers and Minecraft. She worked through the lessons in about a week of long days. Shed spend all of her free time on this, so I am glad that I waited until after school was out for the summer.

My kids love Minecraft. I had been wanting them to learn how to create mods in order to segue their passion for Minecraft into some programming knowledge. My son and I had read lots of internet content, then spent a very frustrated weekend trying to teach ourselves to mod with no results.

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.

Mod Design 1 is a fantastic program for mine craft enthusiasts! I recommend this to kids 8-14. My 11 year old was a bit skeptical at first because his Christmas gift was a online class, however, once he got started, he couldnt get enough! I am excited to give this review as STEM teacher-this is a must have for your brainiac! This took mine craft to a whole other level. The program is excellent and easy to follow. The instructors are only an e-mail away and are always great about personalizing their responses. Thank you Youth Digital!;)

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.
