MINECRAFT NETWORK ADVENTURE & INTRO TO MODS: TWO Great Programs in One! TechStars grants you access to a PROPRIETARY Minecraft world
you can’t get on your own! Learn fundamentals of computer networking through this unique Minecraft experience while also exploring the world of mods!
CODING & GAME DESIGNING WITH ROBLOX: In this course, you’ll use Roblox’s built-in editor to create 3D worlds and then use Lua to code game
mechanics. Publish, share, and play games with friends on any platform from console to mobile.
3D DESIGN AND PRINTING: Working with a partner and using Autodesk 123D Design and its easy-to-learn interface, learn how to design simple 3D
objects, successfully prepare them for a 3D printer, and observe the 3D print process. Make something from scratch: if you can imagine it, you can create it.

customize your game’s “designs,” add challenges and levels of difficulty, then share them with the class!
ROBOTICS & VISUAL PROGRAMMING WITH EDISON BOTS: Meet Edison! Students will explore robotics as they work with Edison, the LEGO® compatible,
programmable Bot! Students will use barcodes to program Edison to do everything from making music to ‘battling” in the Sumo ring!

students will discover how to expand their worlds’ abilities using popular game-enhancing mods. Learn to use, manipulate and evaluate mods that alter the
