  • Minecraft camp, Basics of Logic Gates
    Day 3 – Basics of Logic Gates

    In this lesson, we introduce logic gates using Redstone components. Students will create multiple different versions of locking doors using daylight detectors, lecterns, and levers.

  • Minecraft camp, Advanced Redstone Logic Gates
    Day 4 – Advanced Redstone Logic Gates

    In this lesson, students build on their experience with logic gates by building bigger, more advanced ones. They will create exciting projects, which include a TNT trap, available room detector, and an upgraded daylight door. These more advanced logic gates include the NOR, NAND, and XOR gates.

  • Minecraft camp, Working with Command Blocks
    Day 5 – Working with Command Blocks

    In this final lesson, students begin to use command blocks to make a monster gauntlet. They learn basic commands to summon monsters into their game and change some game settings. They will also learn about the different types of command blocks and how they can help make exciting mini-games!
