Each day includes two hours of live instruction and peer collaboration plus two hours of self-paced project development. Learn more below. 


Sample Schedule

Here’s a sample of what a week in this course could look like. Keep in mind students will progress at varying paces, and this is meant to serve as an outline of key materials and the overall experience. 

Students will explore command blocks and experiment with them with a variety of different machines.

Next, students will use wool blocks to create sounds signals and experiment with other special properties that sensors have. Students start building their obstacle course with sound-based traps.

Students continue building their command block skills and adding complexity to their Minecraft games.

As they continue to build their own Minecraft obstacle course games, students will add depth to their worlds with decorations and other customizations. These might include a starting area and a finish line, along with a rewards room for players who complete the course.

To complete the week, students will refine their map and playtest their peers' obstacle courses. Together, they will discuss their work and provide meaningful feedback for their peers.

Portfolio-Boosting Transcript

At the conclusion of your child's course, they will receive an official iD Tech transcript outlining the skills they learned over the course of the week.

FAQ

Redstone is a powerful Minecraft resource that bears redstone dust when mined, which is then used for redstone circuits, or electricity in the Minecraft world. Command blocks can add a customized feature or action to existing gameplay, like changing the weather. View more Minecraft terms.
