Event Details

Minecraft Coding

This course is designed for primary aged students who are looking to learn to code the games that they play every day. Minecraft makes coding fun yet meaningful as players learn and understand coding concepts that they bring to life in the game!

The participant can use a drag & drop interface which is highly intuitive, but the blocks also show the actual java code too. Coding concepts like variables, if/then/else statements and constructors will be learnt. More advanced participants can switch any time from block-based drag-and-drop code to Javascript.

The children can play with their creations and show their friends at the end of the session on a secure server that only the course participants on the day will have access to:
Code in Minecraft using a Java editor
Increase complexity with Conditions and Variables
Learn about Boolean and Loops
Test and debug using logic and systematic reasoning
Connect your world and Play in Minecraft

Game Design

Make games rather than play them using your own ideas! Become game developers for a day using a physical and virtual platform for creating video games in the classroom. When students build games, they become the writers, artists, designers, and developers of their own interactive stories.

It all starts with an idea. We provide resources that encourage collaboration while guiding students through a design thinking process. Students create their own 13-bit layouts, characters, and art for their game.

  • turn your physical creations into digital game elements
  • edit and customize everything from characters to settings
  • develop interactions and behaviour between characters
  • tell rich, dynamic narratives through your games
  • publish them so others can play them too

Lego Robotics

Children use the Lego WeDo 2.0 and Lego Mindstorms EV3 to design robots to solve real world problems. They learn to code their robots in interactive challenges. In addition to the basics of robotics, children learn key engineering principles such as force and motion, gear ratios and aerodynamics.

  • Solve a real world ‘big problem’ such as pollution, animal welfare, dinosaur habitats
  • Apply engineering concepts such as gear ratios, aerodynamics, motions
  • Explore visual programming with the WeDo 2.0 and EV3 software
  • Build robots that use motors
  • Program and utilize different sensors
  • Develop structural design skills

Coding with Sphero

See your code come alive with Sphero, a powerful robot designed to inspire curiosity and creativity. Our challenges help participants grasp coding concepts in the most fun way ever!

Course participants learn about robotics and the fundamentals of programming. They use a drag and drop interface to create their code, but as they progress through the levels, they are able to use JavaScript, which is text based. The robot doesn’t just teach them programming concepts, it also enables us to teach your child:

  • Science and Maths concepts, such as distance, time, speed calculations
  • Programming concepts like conditionals (IF/THEN/ELSE), Loops, Variables, Lists, etc.
  • An understanding of the sensors embedded in the Sphero (gyroscope, accelerometer, etc.)
  • The possibilities and limitations of the robot
  • Text based languages as they progress through the code
  • Lots of opportunities to collaborate and brainstorm in the classroom as fun challenges are explored and shared.
