Minecraft programming

Minecraft is a great opportunity to learn to program both in Python and with the help of visual blocks. So, through the game in Minecraft the child will be able to learn the basics of programming as early as 6-7 years old.

 For parents, Minecraft sandbox games may seem like a waste of time, but this fun game is actually a great way to encourage kids to learn how to code without feeling like a monotonous and boring activity.

Minecraft uses a simplified 1x1 block structure to create worlds and objects. They are very easy to translate into a programming language consisting of 1s and 0s, which define what the program does and how it works. This binary language can then be transferred to the computer using lines of code.

Thus, Minecraft is an ideal way not only to teach children how to code from scratch, but also to develop critical thinking and a number of useful skills: teamwork, the ability to find errors in the code, and creativity.

Our club talks about the benefits of Minecraft and how best to start learning Python.
