Introduction
Students learn the basics of Minecraft Education Edition and coding by instructing the Agent to perform tasks using block-based programming tools like MakeCode. Through a series of hands-on coding challenges focused on farming and building structures, students enhance their problem-solving skills while working individually and collaboratively. By the end of the bootcamp, students will have gained valuable coding experience, shared strategies, and developed creative solutions in a fun and engaging environment.
