Firetech - Python and Electronics with Minecraft

Learn Python Coding and electronics from the ground up by using one of the most popular gaming platforms on the planet: Minecraft.

COURSE OVERVIEW

Minecraft is an engaging environment that allows fans of all ages to exercise their creative powers, make exciting worlds and populate them with creatures and objects. One of the neat features of Minecraft is that it is possible to “hack” the Minecraft game with real Python code. Our students use Python to automate the building of huge structures, code shortcuts, and build a “game within the game”.

Python is used as the main coding language by a large number of schools for the programming element of the GCSE and A Level Computer Science courses. Our curriculum has been designed to ensure that core concepts have been covered in depth.

The focus of the course is learning Python – some Minecraft skills are helpful but not required.

Essential Information
Equipment:

Laptop required

Students should bring their own laptop. Alternatively, we can provide them for an additional (at cost) fee of £60 for the duration of the course. Bring your Minecraft ID if you have one (we have some spares if you don’t). You will need the admin password to your laptop in order to be able to install the necessary software. Any laptop that runs Minecraft will be fine – their recommended technical spec is here.
