Playful Digital Learning: Coding with Minecraft – Level 1

In this class, students will learn the basics of programming within Minecraft!

Students will learn PDL Code, a language created by our company to work seamlessly with Minecraft and introduce the basics of coding. Using core elements from other popular languages such as Java or C++, PDL Code has its own console where students program outside of Minecraft to make things happen on our very own secure server. They can affect the game world or make their character move just by using code.

Students are expected to understand the basics of using a computer, including switching between windows and using a mouse. It is also intended for intermediate Minecraft players; they should at least know the basic controls and concepts. However, no programming knowledge is required! This course will introduce the basics completely from scratch, such as variables, loops, and conditionals.

Ages 8 – 15
