Get your pickaxe and shovel ready, and get crafting! If you love all things Minecraft, this class is for you! With the BlocksCAD software, you will manipulate simple 3D shapes to transform them into your favorite Minecraft objects and characters! You’ll use a colorful menu of coding commands called “blocks” to adjust your design and make it your own. This will be a highly interactive course where you will learn primarily by building, eventually turning a series of cubes into a fearsome Creeper, friendly Axolotl, or valiant diamond sword. Through short in-class challenges, you will dabble into fundamental areas of math, design, and computer science. You will finish the class with several projects that you can continue to access and show off at home, or import into Minecraft! And, one of your designs will be brought to life using a 3D printer!
Equipment needed: Students will need to bring their own Internet-accessible computing device (laptop, MacBook, or Chromebook) to each class session. Portable hand-held devices such as iPads are strongly discouraged, as BlocksCAD’s website will not calibrate properly. The device should have an Internet browser that is compatible with BlocksCAD (Google Chrome, Safari, or Mozilla Firefox). The instructor will have 2-3 spare devices available, as a precautionary measure. Each student will receive one complimentary 3D print of their choosing after class concludes. BlocksCAD will print the selected design for eventual pick-up at Winchester Recreation.
