Day 1: Events, Variables, Coordinates and Loops:
Jumping straight into the action, students will learn about events, variables, coordinates and loops with block coding, making awesome mods such as:

Students will build on their current coding knowledge, exploring more complex coding principles such as functions, arrays and even A.I:
- Spawn an array of animals and monsters
- Speed up and slow down time
- Build a house with just code
- Procedurally generate a road
- Create an auto-farmer
- Join other students worlds to test their mods
The program will end with a fun building competition, where the students will be challenged to make an awesome world using the knowledge of programming they have acquired.
