About the Minecraft for Kids Program
In our Minecraft program, we leverage kids’ interest in Minecraft as a way to introduce them to other STEM topics like robotics and coding. This is also a great way to teach communication skills.
All of the children who participate can give and receive feedback about projects as they work to improve their projects and help their peers.
Key activities in our Minecraft program for kids:
Teamwork
Patience
Communication
Coding
3D Design

In our Minecraft programs, kids learn how to make Minecraft even more awesome, how computers and servers work, and core computer programming concepts while collaborating with kids equally excited about Minecraft.
We use the incredibly popular game Minecraft (now a mandatory school subject in parts of Europe) as a medium to help kids build transferable skills such as coding, electronics, 3D design, servers, and more. We leverage kids’ interest in Minecraft as a gateway to introduce them to other STEM topics such as Robotics and Coding. Minecraft is also a great medium for teaching positive netizen skills and communication skills. Kids build amazing digital creations.
Skills Learned: Social Skills, Patience, Communication, Teamwork, Problem-Solving, Coding, 3D Design
Kids can start into a level at anytime. They will advance to the next level once they have finished all the activities in their current level or when they are ready to move to the next level.
