> 24 hourMy son loves Minecraft, so in the hopes of sneaking in some education, I ordered this for him. The set up is pretty typical, just create an account and off you go. While you could probably search for similar lessons on YouTube or elsewhere, its nice to have them in one place, especially when its for a 9 year old who learns better when everything is given in a seamless order. Its definitely holding his attention, as hes gone back to it repeatedly over his holiday break!

> 24 hourOur 13yo son lives and breathes Minecraft and we thought this would be a fun way to convert his playtime into learning time. Clear instructions. Im a software engineer by training and this is a nice intro to coding.

> 24 hourUnfortunately this has not held my sons attention like I hoped it would. He absolutely adores Minecraft and is really wanting to learn how to do more with it, so I was really hoping this would draw him in. Unfortunately the classes arent really great. They feel more like a Udemy course aimed at a much older audience than what the description provides, which, especially for the price, is the biggest drawback. The team could take some lessons from popular youtube personalities on how to draw kids in and keep them engaged.

> 24 hourMy 8 y/o is a Minecraft nerd, and just generally very interested in nerdy tech stuff, so this seemed perfect for him. He had asked me about command blocks before, but my computer expertise doesnt stretch far beyond Excel/VBA and the EHR system our hospital uses.

> 24 hourI thought this was a book when I ordered it. This is a card with a code to redeem on a website for the lessons. The lessons are good and easy to follow for a 6 year old. Lessons are good length and not to long. This is good for anyone interested in learning monecraft command block coding

> 24 hourAlthough the webpage suggested an actual course (book), the product delivered certainly was not what expected to give to my child.

> 24 hourI got this for my son because he likes both Minecraft and coding. What I did not know is that this is based on Minecraft Java Edition, which my son does not have. So now he cant even use this until he gets Minecraft Java Edition. It would have been nice to know this ahead of time, so I could have set up to have that as well.

> 24 hourI got this for my son who is an intermediate player of Minecraft. He appreciated the various tips and tricks he learned during the play of this program. It takes you through some useful builds that he has then applied to his Minecraft play. Overall he has seemed to benefit from the practice at coding. Great STEM program for kids who are into Minecraft!

> 24 hourI thought this was a great idea and could work well. I do networking as a profession and never got into coding which I really wanted to. I could never find the time so I tried this to get started. The only thing is it did not keep my interested long enough to stick with it. If I have time, I may take this up again in the future.
