A pity, but I have to agree! The closest thing my school has to coding is Scratch. For a bunch of 11-year-olds, I take pity on the IT industry.

Hey I am 16 and also get annoyed at school ict. However we do have a progarming club which I enjoy. I also find the lack of software package annoying at my school. I was wondering how would you show kids coding for the first time. I don’t think that you would ever be working on shell at school

I made my first website at 5 using a GUI creator and I created a SUSE Linux-based OS at the age of 8. You can imagine how frustrated I am at the ICT 9i精品福利一区二区三区蜜桃 when we are taught how to ” Colour text in Word ” or ” Snip our writing using Snipping Tool ” when I would much prefer to be working at a bash shell in a virtualised Ubuntu Linux. Go seqingav Pi! Long may coding in schools continue!

*Points up* – folks, this last post was from Tom from Charlotte Latin School, whose excellent class of girls we featured here last week, when they gave a talk about their seqingav Pi projects at TedX.

The code works but plenty of room for improvement so a good exercise.

Regards, Dave.

They thought it was quite interesting, but when I put up Minecraft on the projector, they went nuts. They could really see a use for it then. They want me to come back for another talk, and I suspect it will all be about Minecraft. Time to brush up on my python skills.

The installation files are available at:

Minecraft Pi obviously needs a Pi to run on though. I don’t know if non-Pi Minecraft has an API for Python. Tried googling but got only Minecraft Pi search results ;)

Oh and [quote]I am starting a Coding Club[/quote] earns you much kudos.

Then, it clicked – signposts resize to fit whatever text you want to put on them, and with the programmability (which is something in the Pi Edition that I don’t think is in the Pocket Edition), the sky is literally the limit.

I was flabbergasted by what the kids were able to accomplish in just a few days of part-time digging, filling, routing waterfalls, signpost scribbling, etc. Some kids who had frankly been giant “pita” (any teacher knows what that acronym means) discipline cases suddenly had a reason to live, and that reason was Minecraft, Minecraft, and more Minecraft. Did I mention that the kids absolutely LOVE Minecraft? If its nickname isn’t Minecrack, it should be – it’s so addictive some kids wouldn’t even eat or sleep until they had solved how to accomplish each required diorama task. Their parents were wide-eyed with wonder at how excited they were, too.

If a site doesn’t already exist for Minecraft use in education, I was going to grab domain names like Minecrack.com or Mineclass.com, but they’re already taken (and not being used, “Booooo” – dopey cybersquatters). If it doesn’t already exist, I’ll come up with something for educational use and let everyone know … with an emphasis on the Pi Edition, of course ;)

We also have a school wi-fi network that a lot of people use for ‘non-educational’ things like Minecraft Pocket. So we hopped on their servers and messed with ’em :P
