Course Description: Learners will be introduced to the best-selling game of all time: Minecraft. Often described as "digital legos," Minecraft is an immersive world where you can build anything you want, explore, fight monsters, or create crazy machines. Your path is up to you -- you can be an explorer, a builder, a warrior, an adventurer, or an engineer. Or any combination of all these! Bob Irving is a seasoned instructor, a Minecraft Global Mentor, and has taught Minecraft in classes and run Minecraft clubs for over 10 years. If they do not already have access to Minecraft, Learners will need to purchase a license for the game, which costs about $30. It can run on Windows, Mac, iPads, or iPhones.
