ANNOUNCING THE NEW MINECRAFT HOUR OF CODE
|
|
Announcing the 2020 Minecraft Hour of Code: A Tale of Two Villages! For centuries, the Villagers and Illagers shared the same space but never interacted with each other. Use the power of code to bring the two villages together. Players will experience empathy and compassion for their neighbors, learn cooperation and inclusion, and embrace diversity while taking their first steps into computer science. We’re also hosting two live events to help educators prepare to run an Hour of Code with their students. Join us on November 30th at 9:00 AM or 4:00 PM PT.
