We will use the codebuilder from the educational version of Minecraft as a vehicle to create increasingly complex programming structures. To do this, we will make modifications to 3D worlds (instant constructions, super powers, animal rains...), using loops, conditionals, variables and so on to achieve this.
In this extracurricular program we will go from being consumers of video games to creators of stories, mechanics and game dynamics with Makecode Arcade, a video game development tool that is based on programming blocks and pixel art aesthetics, to create true playable works of art and develop critical, computational and spatial thinking.
