FAQ
1Does my child need Minecraft experience?
No! The course starts from scratch. Children who have never played Minecraft can easily get started. Experienced players will advance to more complex content faster.
2Which version of Minecraft is used?
The course uses Minecraft: Education Edition, designed specifically for classroom learning with richer features and higher safety standards.
3Will my child learn real coding in this course?
Yes! Through Redstone circuits and Scratch integration, children learn core programming concepts like logic gates and conditionals, building a strong foundation for formal programming languages.
4Can my child keep their creations after the course?
Yes! All building projects are saved in personal accounts and can be revisited and continued at any time.
5Do we need to purchase a Minecraft account for home practice?
The classroom uses Minecraft: Education Edition which requires institutional licensing. For home practice, Minecraft Java Edition or Bedrock Edition (one-time purchase) supports similar building and creative features. Ask your instructor for purchasing advice.
