Minecraft in Úlfarsárdalur

Are you a Minecraft pro or are you just getting started? Coders from Reykavík 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 7-10. 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 use google maps to locate places in the Minecraft world. The course places great emphasis on collaboration.

14:10-16:10 – Mod Programming: Ages 10-14 During the course, students will have the opportunity to learn how to program their own "Mods" in Minecraft. Students learn to use the program MCreator to program mods in an exciting and fun way. Students create projects/mods that can be shared with peers. The course is intended for those who have experience playing Minecraft and want to learn about programming for the Minecraft game.

Registration is required and will be advertised later.

Skema offers a wide range of technical courses and works towards the goal of teaching programming in primary and secondary schools in the country. Skema uses a methodology supported by research in the fields of psychology, pedagogy, and computer science. The fundamentals of the methodology are based on positivity, graphic representation, and the use of three-dimensional programming environments to take the first steps into the world of technology.
