Sterling Computer Classes for Kids

Posted on Mar 23, 2016

Do your kids love Minecraft? If so, they'll love the kids computer classes coming up at Monkey Joe's Dulles, hosted by C3 Cyber Club! Register your kids now for this fun, active, and educational after school program right here in Sterling, Virginia.

What to expect from C3 Cyber Club

These classes will teach kids the basics of programming by using a custom mod called "Computercraft." This program allows students to create robots called "Turtles" in the world of Minecraft, developing their problem-solving skills by programming their turtles to mine, build, and craft things in the game.

This activity will teach kids several important programming skills, including:

If-then-else statements
For-while loops
LUA (a scripting language)
Bug-finding and trouble-shooting
Logic and reasoning
Typing skills

In addition to an hour of programming instruction, the kids will get to enjoy an hour of jumping time on our fun inflatable jumps, slides, and obstacles. Jumping, bouncing, climbing, and sliding in our indoor playground is a great way for kids to get their recommended daily 60 minutes of exercise, and they'll be having so much fun they won't even know it's good for them!

Computer class details

Children will be split into two groups, for grades 1-3 and 4-6. Whether your child attends public school or is home schooled, this is a great way for them to learn important computer skills, make new friends, and get active! Basic reading skills are required. If your child has already taken the class, don't worry; there will be new activities for returning students to help them further develop their skills.

Please note: Socks are required to jump, and each child must have a waiver signed by their guardian.
