Learn Coding With Minecraft
During our summer camp, students will explore Java coding through Microsoft Makecode and Minecraft. Students can run the code in Minecraft and program the agent to do everything! Some things that can be done in Minecraft include making a calculator and creating games. Students will be able to choose their final project: Minecraft building design or Minecraft built-in game.
Future Applications
Learning Java coding with Minecraft is a fun way to learn a basic programming language. As a widely used language, Java can be applied to many devices and platforms such as mobile, smartcard and computers. Also, people can use it to develop a mobile APP, websites and to program a GUI-based platform.
Game Development
Software Development
Covers a wide variety of aspects, spanning from the initial storyline conception to the actual graphic design and programming of the game, to the public release and advertising of the game.
Java is a widely used programming language designed specifically for web applications. It‘s a powerful tool for software developers that is easy to learn and use.
