It\u2019s one of the most popular video games from the last 10 years and actually has some educational benefits which we\u2019ve listed previously<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If your child loves Minecraft, this video game programming camp will be the perfect choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Each day, your child will uncover more Minecraft secrets, and then move onto modifying the game by developing their own blocks, items, creatures and even the Minecraft landscapes themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n #2: Minecraft Redstone Engineer Bootcamp \u2013 Ages 9 to 12<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n For older children, our Minecraft Redstone camp is a great choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your child will learn how to combine different circuits and complex electronic items such as calculators, elevators and more to build their own amazing adventure course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s a challenging coding bootcamp that involves electronics, mathematics, and inventing, all underpinned with the Minecraft Redstone digital engineering platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n #3: Roblox Lua Coder Bootcamp \u2013 Ages 11 to 1<\/a><\/strong>6<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Our Roblox Lua Coding course transforms your child from a drag and drop player to a developer, coding every action, interaction, outcome including in-game events of a multiplayer game from scratch. No templates, no shortcuts\u2014just pure, hands-on coding using Lua, the scripting language that powers Roblox Studio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Scripting languages like Lua are lightweight and designed to run inside specific platforms, like Roblox, controlling everything that happens during game play, such as spawning objects (making things appear), responding to player input and tracking scores. <\/p>\n\n\n\n #4: Python Coder Bootcamp \u2013 Ages 10 to 16<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Python is a programming language that is particularly good for kids wanted to learn how to code. Of all the various languages out there, it\u2019s the one which we really encourage children to learn due to the minimal and easy to read style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is our most advanced video game design camp and is designed for older kids who have some experience of coding already.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this summer camp your child will learn the power of object-oriented coding (OOP) and apply these skills to create an impressive collection of interactive 2D video games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All of the FunTech kid\u2019s bootcamps have a core STEM focus, with a focus on using gaming to engage and teach your child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We take what possible concerns you might have as a parent about the amount of screen time your child has playing games and help turn it into a more productive talent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At FunTech we also believe that video gaming can actually improve essential aspects of their development (and there\u2019s research to back this up too<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
