MINECRAFT Coding Beginner Level Don’t just let your children play Minecraft, get them coding with it! In this live online weekly class, the students  will be taught to code using Minecraft, in a block-based programming language (Microsoft MakeCode). Age Requirement: 7+ MINECRAFT Coding Intermediate Level Take your Minecraft coding knowledge further with the new Code Kids Intermediate level Minecraft Coding course this term. You will take your knowledge of creative game play to the next level as we explore the interplay between code, command blocks, and Redstone to create multi-player games. We will also introduce Minecraft JavaScript and Python coding to children. This will set them up for the next level of their coding journey which will use ‘real-world’ text-based programming languages such as Java, Python or JavaScript. Who is the course for? The course is aimed at children who are at least 9 years of age or those who have a good grasp of the beginner level concepts. What we will cover in the Intermediate Minecraft course:
- We will focus more on multiplayer games where the children can interactively play inside each other’s Minecraft worlds.
- Advanced data structures: using object Variables, Lists and Dictionaries
- Use of Logic, and nested logic statements to make in-game decisions.
- Advanced loops: using For loops and While loops embedded with logic
- Using Functions to create reusable and clean code.
- Combining Command blocks and Code to create highly interactive games
- We will explore basic JavaScript and Python coding techniques. This is the next step up from block-based coding and opens up a whole new world of ‘real-life’ coding opportunities.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our online camps run slightly differently to our in-house camps, so you might have lots of questions. See our answers to some of your frequently asked questions below
- Protecting private information for themselves and others
- Be just as respectful towards their tutor and peer group in a virtual classroom as they would in a physical one
- Stand up to cyber-bullying when they see it happening
- Carefully manage their digital footprint
Whilst they are in the classroom, we cannot see what they have got on their individual screens unless they choose to share. We therefore ask that although the child sits in a quiet space, a responsible adult is always close by to monitor their screens from time to time.
Our online mini-camp times are different to our in-house camps. Our mini-camps are 3 hours long. However, if you feel your child could cope with a full day of learning, they can join us for a different subject in the afternoon. We have a 2 hour break between the morning and afternoon sessions, allowing the students to have lunch and some free time at home.
We have three sessions running on any given day:
- 9AM to 12PM (this is an ideal time for our younger learners as they tend to be most productive in the mornings)
- 2PM to 5PM (this session would offer a different subject to the morning session, as our mini-camps are only three hours long, giving working from home families lots of flexibility)
- 6PM to 9PM (these classes are ideal for older learners, who might be more productive in the evenings, and also for our international students in the US)
Your child will need a device to connect with us via a Zoom classroom, so at the very least, they will need:
- a computer or an iPad with Zoom installed (for most courses, either one will work, but some courses may be iPad only or Computer only)
- a quiet space to work, away from background noise or distractions (siblings or television/radio)
- if you have two siblings joining the camp, they will also need to be in separate rooms
- perhaps some writing material to take any notes. Most notes from the tutor will be sent to the students at the end of the class
The Game Design course is iPad /tablet only.
The Virtual Reality course experience is better on a iPad/tablet. If you are using a computer, we would recommend having a smart phone to view your world.
Scratch Coding, Roblox Coding, Advanced Game Development, Mobile App Development, Python Coding all require a computer.
Every Code Kids coach who works with our children has an enhanced DBS check and has had child safeguarding training. The safety of the children in our care is our highest priority. Every camp also has at least one adult with paediatric first aid training. We do also have excellent staff:pupil ratios.
