About this Course

Introduce young learners to the world of coding. Young participants use collaborative games and hands-on activities to explore programming concepts and develop computer literacy in a creative and non-competitive atmosphere. Participants use Scratch and Minecraft Education, which are online educational platforms, to work with variables, looping, patterns, conditions and data structures, while solving problems and thinking critically and creatively. Participants must bring a device that can connect to the Internet. The Minecraft licensing fee is $20.00 per child and is non-refundable. Please contact programs@myuna.ca to waive licensing fee if participant has taken a Minecraft coders course within the previous 9 months at the UNA.
