ABOUT
PlayCraft
Playing games is fun! Making them is even better. In PlayCraft, we learn how to use Command Blocks to build Minecraft minigames, applying coding and level design skills throughout.
About Think Camp
Think Camp teaches key 21st century skills in fun and energising full day camps during school holiday periods. On Think Camp, computer work is interspersed with frequent snack breaks (two per day), outdoor games (weather permitting) and exciting competitions. Powerful thinking skills such as Design and Lean Thinking are taught throughout, using carefully designed activities that compliment computer work and give participants the tools needed to master the world of tomorrow.
