Question 1

What coding language does Minecraft use?

Accepted Answer

We teach students how to code using Java, the programming language behind Minecraft: Java Edition. It's one of the most widely used coding languages in the world—great for both beginners and future developers.

Question 2

Will my child just be playing Minecraft?

Accepted Answer

Nope! While they’ll interact with Minecraft, they’ll spend most of their time learning to code, create mods, and solve logic-based challenges. It’s play with purpose—gamified learning that builds real skills.

Question 3

What exactly is Minecraft?

Accepted Answer

Minecraft is a creative, open-world game where players explore, build, and survive. In our camp, it becomes a fun and accessible platform to teach core programming concepts in a way that feels like a game—but delivers serious learning.

Question 4

Do I need to purchase Minecraft for my child?

Accepted Answer

No need! All necessary software, equipment, and Minecraft licenses are provided during camp hours. Just drop off your child—we handle the rest.

Question 5

When and where will the Minecraft Coding Camp be hosted?

Accepted Answer

Camp is only hosted at our Palo Alto and Cupertino Centers, Monday through Friday from 10:00 AM to 2:30 PM. We offer three summer sessions for your convenience:

Question 6

Does my child need any prior coding experience?

Accepted Answer

Not at all! Our course is designed for absolute beginners. Whether your child is new to coding or already curious about programming, our curriculum meets them at their level.

Question 7

What will my child learn by the end of camp?

Accepted Answer

Your child will walk away with a basic understanding of Java, logic structures (like if-else statements, loops, variables), and how to write their own Minecraft mods. They’ll also practice problem-solving and computational thinking.

Question 8

Will my child work alone or in groups?

Accepted Answer

Campers will have both independent and collaborative challenges. This builds confidence in their own skills while also learning teamwork and communication—important in both coding and life.

Question 9

Is there a refund or cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

All purchases are final, and no rescheduling or cancellations will be accommodated. Each class is held in person at our Education Polis center in Palo Alto, and attendance is required as scheduled.
