PROGRAMMING JAVA WITH MINECRAFT: 6/25 - 6/29 in PV
Now in its sixth season in Portola Valley, this camp is a great way for kids who love games to learn to programme. We use real programming with a real programming language - Java - on a real-world server that your child will setup and configure. Kids enjoy seeing the immediate results of their learnings and are highly motivated to understand the capabilities and techniques of Java.
The camp also draws on their imaginative abilities, creating new Minecraft mods that they’ve dreamed up but never thought they could actually build, like an arena generator or spawn an Ender Dragon or a TNT block that explodes when the timer reaches zero!
At the end of the camp, your child will have learned:
- How to setup and use their own Minecraft server
- How to install customized mods on their server using Spigot
- How to set up a software development environment
- How to build a mod using Java
- Programming basics
- Java basic
All camps are run here in Portola Valley by the Youstra brothers, students at Woodside Priory.
To learn more about the camps and register for one of the sessions, CLICK HERE.
