Spawn into the curious world of Minecraft!

This is the Minecraft summer camp you’ve been waiting for.
What will they do at Minecraft Challenge?
- Game Design & Command Line Coding: Campers will embrace ingenuity as they learn to use WorldEdit and our expert instruction to learn the basics of video game design and coding via command line. Campers will enter commands like //hsphere glass 50 to automatically generate large structures that would be infeasible to construct manually.
- Screencasting: Who’s your favorite Minecraft Youtuber? Learn to make videos just like their’s, then after a check for anonymity (no first or last names or personal information), upload them to Youtube!
- Survivor: Campers will divide into teams, then attempt to out-mine, out-wit, and out-survive their foes in a survivor style competition.
- Teamwork: Throughout the camp, kids will have many opportunities to develop their teamwork skills- from designing maps together to sharing tips and tricks to playtesting each other’s games.
