Minecraft Coding for Kids

No. Modern Age Coders is an independent coding school, and this course is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Mojang or Microsoft. We teach coding using Minecraft Education and its built-in MakeCode editor, tools Microsoft makes available for exactly this kind of learning, but the curriculum and classes are entirely ours.

The course uses Minecraft Education, the school-focused version with the coding editor (Code Builder) built in. The regular Bedrock or Java editions your child may already own do not include this editor, so Education is required; it runs on Windows, Mac, iPad, and most Chromebooks, and needs its own low-cost licence or a school Microsoft 365 Education account. Before the batch starts we walk every family through the setup, and we confirm your device runs it during the free demo.

Every class is a coding class; Minecraft is the place the code runs, not the activity. Students spend sessions writing programs: loops that raise walls, decisions that steer a robot, events that trigger traps, timers that run games. The game world is what makes a seven-year-old care whether their loop is correct, because a wrong loop builds a crooked castle in front of everyone.

For most families it converts time rather than adds it. The hours a child was already spending in Minecraft start producing farms they automated, games they invented, and bugs they fixed, which exercises planning and logic in a way passive play does not. Classes are one focused hour, and home practice is deliberately kept to one or two hours a week, sized for this age group.

Both ends of the range are served, differently. Sevens thrive because block coding removes typing and spelling from the equation; they drag, snap, and run. Twelves stay stretched through harder challenges, functions, and the JavaScript view, where they read and edit their own programs as typed code. Batches are grouped by age so the pace fits the room.

The two most common paths are our Python for kids course, which takes the same ideas into the world's most-used typed language, and Roblox game coding, where students script 3D games in Luau. The instructor recommends a path for each child at the end of the course based on what they gravitated toward.

₹1,499 per month for group classes with 2 live classes weekly and at most 10 students per batch. Mini batches of 3 to 4 students are ₹2,499 per month, and personal 1-on-1 classes are ₹4,999 per month. International students pay $40 per month for group classes and $100 per month for 1-on-1. The Minecraft Education licence, if your family needs to buy one, is separate and paid to Microsoft directly.

Yes, the first demo class is free and carries no obligation. Book it at learn.modernagecoders.com/contact or message us on WhatsApp at +91 91233 66161. The demo doubles as a tech check: we make sure Minecraft Education runs on your device and answer setup questions with a parent present.

No. Setup is guided step by step before the first class, progress notes after classes tell you what was built and why it matters, and the end-of-course showcase is designed for families, your child explains their own program to you. Many parents tell us that presentation is the first time they understood what the course was building all along.
