Minecraft® needs no introduction. It has become a cultural phenomenon with over 23 million copies sold, and if you play yourself, you know how much time this game can consume. The game mechanics, however, are incredibly analogous to engineering. In Minecraft University, we will use the game as a tool to focus on problem solving and programming techniques.

We will also use Scratch, a visual programming language designed by MIT, to enhance the lessons of programming. Programming in Minecraft teaches you to think logically and introduces you to the inner world of computing. Camps are offered on a graduated basis, with the skills being taught advancing from the basics of the program through programming and quantum physics, with a dip into Java. You will be provided a coursework book and access to a campersonly whitelisted server for one year. Campers must have an account with www.minecraft.net.

Minecraft University offers classes in four levels. See Level 1 and Level 2 information below. Begin with Level 1 and/or Level 2. Levels 2, 3, and 4 will be offered during the June 16 – June 27 session.

Minecraft® University Minecraft® needs no introduction. It has become a cultural phenomenon with over 23 million copies sold, and if you play yourself, you know how much time this game can consume. The game mechanics, however, are incredibly analogous to engineering. In Minecraft University, we will use the game as a tool to focus on problem solving and programming techniques.

We will also use Scratch, a visual programming language designed by MIT, to enhance the lessons of programming. Programming in Minecraft teaches you to think logically and introduces you to the inner world of computing. Camps are offered on a graduated basis, with the skills being taught advancing from the basics of the program through programming and quantum physics, with a dip into Java. You will be provided a coursework book and access to a campersonly whitelisted server for one year. Campers must have an account with www.minecraft.net.

Minecraft University offers classes at four levels. Begin with Level 1 and/or Level 2 during the week of June 9 – June 13. Levels 2, 3, and 4 will be offered during the June 16 – June 27 session.

In this class, you will further explore the possibilities of Redstone crafting and the use of ComputerCraft® robots. We will also move into more traditional programming within the Scratch environment.

Level 4: Programming & Quantum Physics: qCraft With Java: qCraft is a mod that brings the principles of quantum physics to the world of Minecraft®. “Mods,” or game modifications, are programs that change the game in the way the mod developer desires. You will learn about the special objects and properties of qCraft and then learn just enough Java to get “dangerous” within a mod development environment.

Learn what it takes to become a game developer!

Registration: www.hockaday.org/summer Level 2: Redstone and Programming: Redstone Minecraft®-ers are the electrical engineers of Minecraft and their creations often amaze and confound more basic players. Command blocks are special blocks in Minecraft that can be programmed to accomplish specific tasks. ComputerCraft® is a modification for Minecraft that’s all about computer programming. It allows you to build in-game computers and robots.

Used individually and together, these elements of Minecraft open up elements of programming within the game’s unique and engaging environment.

Drama everywhere! Do you love drama – the planned and the unplanned? Well, you just might be on your way to creating your own drama using your personal experiences and your wild imagination! In this workshop we’re going to write – for fun. We’re going to take from our own personal lives and see how we can add even more drama. We’re going to script out who we are, who we wish we were, what would happen if the two met, and then bring in our favorite characters from books, television and movies, and anything else we can think of. And then we’re going to act them out as a group. This class is perfect for those interested in movies, plays, and television. Or, just plain drama.

A topological look at the world will stretch the imagination and go well beyond the geometry you learn in school. The symmetries in simple objects lead to puzzles and games, then to deeper mathematical concepts. New geometrical worlds have unexpected properties.

In this course, you will begin to visit these strange worlds, which offer new insights about your own.

Registration: www.hockaday.org/summer Do you have a passion for sports? Maybe one sport in particular, and you dream of excelling in athletic challenges? When you move into high school, either this year or in just a few years, athletics becomes more competitive. Hockaday Middle School Track Coach Toi Windham, along with Coach Stewart Ball, will prepare you for the mental and physical challenges of selective sports competition. The goal is to become a little tougher, more persistent, and self-confident. Drills to train agility, balance, moving with explosive strength, and control are combined with running that will focus on developing speed over short and middle distances.

Core strength and body weight exercises (sit-ups, push-ups, pull-ups) will also be emphasized. This camp teaches you how to get fit and strong and will also teach you to take more responsibility for your own athletic success.

Required equipment: Workout mat, water bottle, snack. Wear appropriate workout and running gear.

Minecraft® University Minecraft® needs no introduction. It has become a cultural phenomenon with over 23 million copies sold, and if you play yourself, you know how much time this game can consume. The game mechanics, however, are incredibly analogous to engineering. In Minecraft University, we will use the game as a tool to focus on problem solving and programming techniques.

We will also use Scratch, a visual programming language designed by MIT, to enhance the lessons of programming. Programming in Minecraft teaches you to think logically and introduces you to the inner world of computing. Camps are offered on a graduated basis, with the skills being taught advancing from the basics of the program through programming and quantum physics, with a dip into Java. You will be provided a coursework book and access to a campersonly whitelisted server for one year. Campers must have an account with www.minecraft.net.

Minecraft University offers classes in Levels 1–4. Begin with Level 1 and/or Level 2 during the week of June 9 – June 13. Levels 2, 3, and 4 will be offered during the June 16 – June 27 session.
