Workshop

Learn the basics of coding in a Minecraft world specially constructed by Powerhouse.

In this workshop young participants will be guided through a series of coding challenges within the Minecraft world, using Microsoft MakeCode block coding to control their agent and make changes to the world.

The Minecraft world for these workshops is safe, private and only accessible at Powerhouse. It uses Minecraft Education Edition, a game-based learning platform that promotes creativity, collaboration and problem-solving in an immersive digital environment.

Computers will be provided to help participants develop their computer literacy with keyboard and mouse skills.

Participants are asked to bring their own lunch and a hat as lunchtime activities may take place outdoors.

Advanced bookings essential as places are limited. Tickets can be discounted using the NSW Creative Kids voucher.

For ages 7–9.
