Introduction to Minecraft
If you have never played Minecraft, don't worry, we will teach you. In the course we will introduce you to this exciting world and show you the possibilities of the educational version.
Programming basics
You will be able to start your first steps in computer programming with which you will be able to modify the videogame according to your preferences. Make what you imagine come true!
Block Programming
Block programming is a very visual and easy way to start programming. Similar to programming with Scratch, used in some HEIs.
Automatic Constructions with Robots
Minecraft has the ability to program Robots (which look like mini Iron Golems) in order to automate constructions. Program robots to automatically do tasks for you, faster and without errors.
Basic Artificial Intelligence
We will learn to tell the robot or artificial agent how it should behave. You will have a virtual partner who will help you make the constructions!
challenges and games
You will enjoy the challenges and games that we have prepared for you. Put everything you learned in the workshop to the test! You dare?
