About Minecraft and Coding Experience
Coding is the new literacy. Knowledge in coding will soon become a basic skill. The sooner our students are equipped with coding skills, the better prepared they are for the future. Since recent years, Python has become the most popular programming language. It is innately simple, easy to read and yet powerful and versatile in its applications. It works well with machine learning, data modelling, data analysis and artificial intelligence (A.I.).
Beginners can quickly pick up the basics skills in Python and learn how to use this language in solving daily problems. It is a perfect start for students to learn to code and enter the world of data science. The hardest part of coding for beginners is to understand the conceptual ideas and programming syntax.
For the 1st time, professional coding is made simple! HumanMax is offering new and exciting ways for students to experience and explore computer science and develop their coding abilities based on the ground-breaking, highly intelligent and all comprehensive Minecraft Education Edition. Minecraft E: Coding with Python features a four-level progressive programme that focuses on both Blocky and Python programming language. If your students want to learn to code using Python and are aspired to be an expert in this language, look no further, this programme will be where they should start!
Start with Minecraft to excel in Python!
Programme Introduction
Minecraft E: Coding with Python is a series of unique programmes designed for students with little to early-stage coding experience. Students will learn the basics of Python, including syntax, data types, variables, conditionals and other coding techniques. They will start to code using the language and participate in activities using Microsoft MakeCode.
In the programmes, we will provide fun and easy tutorials for students, which will help cultivate students’ interest in computer science effectively. The programmes keep in mind the needs and abilities of the students to reduce the feeling of frustration which can sometimes drive students away from computer programming.
