Although it is well known for website content development, Java can do so much more – from games to cellphone and tablet apps and so many other useful enterprise software. Who is not familiar with Minecraft or Twitter, for that matter. They are so different, yet they were both built using Java.
Our course, of course, will not go to such depth. It will begin by introducing some programming basics, learning about object-oriented programing, data structures, and algorithms. The focus of the course will be on learning how to program robots and build games with a focus on Minecraft in Integrated Development Environments. This is a course for children who have shown genuine interest in coding.
