1-on-1 Python in Minecraft Tutoring: Build with Code

The learner opens Code Builder in Minecraft Education and types Python that controls the game. The tutor starts with placing a single block and builds up to loops that make walls and functions that build whole houses. Seeing code appear as blocks makes each idea easy to grasp.

How classes work

Each 45-minute session is one learner with one teacher. There is no fixed lesson plan or set number of sessions: families book as many as they want, and the teacher sets the pace and focus around the learner's goals and gives feedback as they work.

What we can work on

• 

  Code Builder and First Block – Place a block with one line of code.

• 

  Coordinates – Understand x, y and z.
