SCMP 159 - Game Programming with Raspberry Pi (Gr. 7-9)


Course Description
Take your love of gaming to the next level. Learn how to program Minecraft™ using Raspberry Pi™-a credit card-sized computer that you can use for not only game programming, but for surfing the web, hosting, creating a website and more! Start by building structures in the traditional Minecraft™ way, but once you’ve learned about the in-game features, break open the code and use the Python programming language to manipulate things in the game world. At the end of the camp, take your game home where you can run your own Minecraft™ server to continue building your world.
Essential Skills: Continuous learning, Digital technology, Working with others

NOTE: Basic computer skills required.
