Minecraft programming training program for kids

Minecraft is a popular sandbox game in which players appear in endless randomly generated worlds.

‍Why is the game so popular? In it, each user can choose their favorite game mode. Some people like to survive in the open world, while others like to build their own in creative mode. In addition, users are attracted by the fact that in the sandbox you can explore and create worlds with friends, and create something new from almost every block by combining them with each other.

It's very easy to start programming in Minecraft

First, you need to register on the ProgKids website. After registration, you will see a window with a selection of Minecraft programming courses.

If you already know how to program with the visual languages Snap or Scratch and want something more complicated, then move on to programming lessons with Python.
