Minecraft Education
Students code inside the world they already love to play. Program the Agent, automate builds, and move from drag-and-drop blocks into real typed code at their own pace.

- Block coding fundamentals: events, loops, conditionals, and variables
- Working with coordinates and thinking in three dimensions

- Automating large structures that would take hours to place by hand
- Making the switch from blocks to typed JavaScript or Python in the same editor
- Planning, testing, and debugging a finished project world
Who this course is for
No prior experience required. A great fit for students ages 8 and up, especially those who already play Minecraft and want to find out what is happening under the blocks.
It also works well as a next step after Scratch, and as a gentle on-ramp toward Python or JavaScript, since Code Builder lets a student switch between blocks and text in the same project.
Minecraft Education is a separate Microsoft product from regular Minecraft and needs its own account. We'll walk you through getting set up before the first lesson, and we can run the trial on our license so you can see the course before sorting anything out.
