Block-Based & Python Coding Pathways
Scale to any student experience level. Beginners can use MakeCode block-based programming to control Minecraft's Agent and solve challenges, while more advanced learners can use Python to develop increasingly sophisticated solutions. Along the way, students build computational thinking, debugging, automation, problem-solving, and coding skills while learning how humans and AI systems can work together effectively.
Featured Experience: Hour of AI – The First Night
In this immersive learning adventure, students work alongside an AI Agent to survive their first night in Minecraft. Through gameplay-driven challenges, learners discover how AI systems recognize patterns, make predictions, verify information, and sometimes make mistakes. The experience demonstrates the importance of human judgment, oversight, and responsible AI use while building foundational AI literacy skills.
