You may have heard of Code.org, a website that aims to encourage people to get into computer science (specifically, programming). There's a ton of programming challenges themed around popular brands. For example, they recently created a section themed around Star Wars. It's actually fun if you want to learn a little bit about programming.
Today, Microsoft announced a Minecraft-themed campaign on Code.org. The Minecraft campaign has 14 challenges, as well as a 'Free Play' where you can try out anything you learned in the tutorials. Here's a video about the Minecraft 'Hour of Code' featuring Minecraft's lead developer Jens Bergensten.

finally someone who doesn't call programming coding! does this bother anyone else?
ReplyDeleteWell it doesn't bother me that much but I've always wondered why everybody calls it coding, programming is a more professional term just in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteI feel like coding is supposed to make programming sound cooler
ReplyDeleteIt does sound cooler now that I think of it
