YouthDigital teaches young students to code with Minecraft for $149

Through Mod Design 1 students will learn the fundamentals of object oriented programming by using Java to create – you guessed it – Mods for Minecraft. These original Mods are built from scratch using real code, and include swords, blocks, tools, biomes and more. Participants will learn to instantiate objects, implement loops and call methods, all in the service of expanding their Minecraft world with new features and functions.

YouthDigital has designed the course for students aged eight to fourteen. Interactive and challenging assignments, videos, quizzes and badges keep young learners engaged. The class is self-paced, so students can complete the work on their own time – YouthDigital estimates there are about thirty hours of coursework, which can be accessed for up to a year. When they’re finished, students submit their project and receive personalized feedback from the teacher. They’ll also get to keep all their work and the software they used to create it.

Students can keep and play games they design themselves
One of the basic tenets of YouthDigital’s educational model is the idea that help should never be more than a click away. Support staff is on hand six days a week to answer questions, and regardless of your level of technical savvy, their “Awesome Support” promises to be there for you and your student. These online courses are based on physical classes YouthDigital has taught at their physical studio and summer camps, so there’s already an existing model of success for each one. They’ve already helped over 15,000 students learn tech this way.

Aiming to be as entertaining as they are effective, YouthDigital stands behind their courses and offers a 30-day money back guarantee (before the completion of the 4th module). This offer ends this Sunday, 11/23, so take advantage of this hefty savings and check out this unique class today.
