Coding with Minecraft for Teens

Swampscott Public Library wants you: Calling all crafters - experienced or beginners!

Wednesday, July 8th at 6pm, the Rhode Island Computer Museum staff will present a Minecraft program at the Swampscott Public Library.

Calling all crafters! Come learn how to summon lightning bolts with a bow and arrow or build giant rainbows in the Minecraft world with code! Spawn farm animals or monsters instantly and have fun “modding” your world! This workshop introduces coding concepts by showing students how to build or change (e.g. mod) the game using code based on the Javascript programming language. The set-up is easy for beginners, challenging for experienced gamers and fun for everyone! This is a two-hour session open to 5th-12th graders. Space is limited. Please register at 781-596-8867 beginning on Wednesday, June 24th.

The library is located at 61 Burrill Street, Swampscott.
