It’s never too early to get kids thinking about programming, but it’s not always easy to keep them engaged. YouthDigital has developed a cool educational system geared towards helping young students learn crucial tech skills, and right now you can get a sizable $100 discount on their most popular course, Mod Design 1. That’s 40% off and brings the cost down to just $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.
