Minecraft: Introduction to Artificial Intelligence I

ON-LINE from 04/22/2023, level 1 starters

 

Description:

Minecraft is considered one of the most influential computer games worldwide.
In the game, the player creates constructions such as buildings or circuits from mostly cube-shaped elements in a freely accessible, real-time generated world, which also consists of cubes. On a tour of discoveryThe player can collect resources, fight monsters and process the raw materials found into new items.Minecraft has long been used in education to teach chemistry, computer-aided design and computer science , among other things.

 

Our course Minecraft: Introduction to Artificial Intelligence (AI) is deliberately designed for eight months of intensive learning: Level 1 Starter (4 months) and Level 2 Expert (4 months). The task of the participants is to program their own agent to solve routine game tasks. The children develop the basic techniques of programming and learn to transfer the knowledge gained from building the Minecraft game universe to other areas. Towards the end of the course, students will program in JavaScript, one of the most widely used and sought-after programming languages in the world.

We dedicate 25% of our learning time to developing soft skills. In online lessons, the participants work in a team and have to communicate and act in the same way as professional programmers in companies do. In this way, we create a practical learning environment and give room for personal development.

The Level 1 Starter course is equally suitable for children who are just beginning to program or who already have basic programming knowledge (Level 1 & 2).He findson-lineinstead of.
