Are you a Minecraft pro or are you just getting started? Coders from Reykjavik University‘s Skema will take us on a creative journey and share all their best tricks for worldbuilding in Minecraft. Let’s have fun together and learn something new on the way.

Two courses will be offered:

12:00-14:00 - Design & Geography: Ages 6-12. Let's learn to create and design in Minecraft. We learn various things about architecture and building styles. During the course, everyone plays together in a specially designed Iceland world. Participants will have to use google maps to locate places in the Minecraft world. The course places great emphasis on collaboration.

 

14:00-16:00 – Circuits: Ages 8-14. Let's learn about electrical circuits in Minecraft and how it connects to real world electrical circuits. We learn a lot about automation and create machines that make it easier for us to play Minecraft.
