Grades 3 - 8 · Minecraft is a popular virtual computer program game that allows the user to build and design worlds using blocks while collaborating with other users on a server. This program will aid in the introduction of next generation individuals to the Science Technology Engineering Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) industry. No background in STEAM or Minecraft is needed.

This program seeks to create a collaborative setting with a small group of students from different backgrounds to increase creativity, critical thinking, and problem solving skills, and to introduce the concept of computer science and other STEAM professions as possible careers.
