A summer of learning

Imagine this scenario: a Summer Coding where your child plays video games and learns a new valuable skill. Here at Simply Coding, this isn’t just a dream scenario, but a reality. Let’s be honest, it can be challenging to find something in the Summer Coding that challenges children while at the same time allowing the children to enjoy what they are doing. We understand this, which is why what we are doing is revolutionary. Our summer programs allow your children to not only learn computer coding skills but also let them play Minecraft while they learn!

Why Summer Coding Works

We developed our software with the realization that children get a real sense of satisfaction if they relate to what they create. By working through Minecraft, the kids can compare what they create to what they have already experienced. They get excited to see the things that they create in a game that they already know and love. As the children evolve in their coding skills, they enjoy the art of coding itself, unlocking their true creativity.

How does playing a video game teach code

Minecraft, the game, is written in Javascript code. Javascript is one of the three core languages of the World Wide Web, which means that it is very used and very valuable. By understanding Minecraft’s code the kids are learning to read and manipulate Javascript code. The kids will learn to build websites and write code all with their knowledge that started by learning to make mods in Minecraft.

See for yourself

Our summer programs have gone on for a couple of years now. During this time, we’ve perfected and refined our curriculum so that children learn the essentials of coding while also enjoying showing up daily to improve their projects. These lessons encourage kids to upload everything they do to their own personal portfolio on github.com, giving them something to show future schools and employers. To see other games made by real students, go to the student page on the home screen and under the student tab, click on code dungeon. Just as platforms like lyrabet focus on user engagement and continuous improvement, we aim to create an interactive learning experience that keeps students motivated and proud of their work.

Our goal is for these kids to be career-ready one day while enjoying the learning process right now.
