Coding for Kids: Learn to Code Minecraft Command Blocks - Video Game Design Coding Software - Computer Programming Courses, Ages 9+ (PC, Mac Compatible)

My 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!

Great to give my kids a head start in coding.

My 10 year old has been really interested in coding and this was a great place for him to start. He truly is a beginner and this program has taught him the basics and even held this adult noob. It was really easy to install and easy to understand and they made it fun. Highly recommend

I liked that this came as an actual card instead of just a digital code. I got this to use with one of my homeschool kids.

TLDR; 100% online course; requires creating accounts, seems easy enough to follow for my 10yr old kid

I love that this is fun and learning mixed together. My son took interest to it once he realized he was learning to design items in his game. It makes me feel like I’ve given him something to put his mind to, instead of mindless game playing. Coding is popular with Minecraft and this gives a step by step on how to make things.

Since this was a gift for my nephew, I asked him to write a review, from a users point of view. The following review is from my 10 year old nephew - indirectly quoted (edited for grammer and clarity):

I ordered this for my son and he loves it. It is easy for him to use as a beginner and I like that there is tech support. This is a great gift to give to any child who has an interest in learning to code.

I 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.

Our child has used scratch before so they understand code blocks, but this grabbed their attention more since they could do it in Minecraft.
