Go back to basics and learn about the foundations of code while exploring the creative possibilities of Minecraft. Apply concepts in programming to build topsy turvy roller coasters and stairways to heaven. Then we’ll dive deeper into coding fundamentals – go on an adventure to explore sea turtle nests, and embark on a mission to save a polar bear cub and a panda habitat!
Pick up coding fundamentals directly in Minecraft.
Kids will learn about the concepts of loops, agent conditional blocks (movement, set and place, destroy and collect and detect) as well as logic and basic coding blocks.
Learn through Play!
Get engaged in the best of 3D gaming with Minecraft… all while coding, having a blast, and learning about endangered animals and some of the most pressing issues in the natural world today.
Go on an environmental-themed adventure: rescue polar bear cubs, track down baby sea turtles and restore endangered pandas’ habitats.
Minecraft Animal Sanctuary Competition

No lectures. No memorisation. No ONE right answer. Like real life, we're all about trying things out yourself, failing, figuring what went wrong & trying again. These are the skills & mindset that will last a lifetime and how we learn in real life. Let's get kids to learn how to learn. Because the kids who learn to learn become curious, inventive, resourceful human beings who solve real world problems to make a meaningful impact.
