Minecraft Coding Camp Lessons
Redstone Basics
In this first lesson, students begin to understand the basics of redstone components. This includes how to activate, position, and extend redstone blocks. By the end of this lesson, students will have built a fort that has redstone-powered traps to protect against mobs!
The Redstone Comparator
In this lesson, students to learn more about the redstone comparator, a redstone component used to maintain, compare, or subtract signal strength, or to measure certain block states. They’ll create projects such as a chest fullness detector and fireworks machine. This helps students better understand the uses of comparators, and how they can improve their Minecraft experience.
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. They will also implement logic gates such as the AND gate and the OR gate in order to make these doors more secure.
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.
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!
Technical Requirements
Before the start of camp, students should meet the following requirements:
- Be familiar with basics of Minecraft game
- Have all required class technology
- Minecraft for the PC is required for the class. Purchase it here or check with your student if this is the version they already have.
Virtual Minecraft Classroom
Each class has its own dedicated server so all classmates play in the same Minecraft world. This distinctive shared-world setup not only promotes safe learning and play, but also fosters interaction and inspiration among students in the game!
For Ages 11-13. Beginners welcome.

Parents & Students Love The CodeWizardsHQ Summer Program!
Great Program That Really Teaches Coding
Our 13 year old took this program over the summer and really enjoyed it. He found it challenging and fun at the same time. He thought it was a bit more difficult than typical middle school coding programs but that’s what kept him engaged. This wasn’t glorified babysitting, this program really taught him to do some coding.
Great Experience!
My son enrolled in the beginner class for Python Programming. It was great! He learned a lot and it was nice that all lectures are recorded since there were a few days he had to miss during the summer.
Highly Recommended On So Many Levels!
This was a great summer program for my 14-year-old. She really enjoyed it and learned a lot. The projects and homework were not overly time-intensive but reinforced each session. I highly recommend this program and so does she :).

Choose from a 3-week accelerated course or 12-week year round course. These courses are just as fun as our camps and give students a strong foundation of programming knowledge while teaching students how to think like a programmer.
What is required to attend Minecraft camp?
Student requirements include all of our standard technical recommendations.
In addition to our default recommendations, students are also required to purchase and install a copy of Minecraft for the PC before the start of the first session if a copy is not already owned. Students should already be familiar with the basics Minecraft. Students should be familiar with PC specific controls prior to the start of the first session.
