What is Magikcraft?
Magikcraft teaches kids of all ages to code by casting spells in Minecraft. Kids learn valuable skills of collaboration and communication, as well as logical thinking and coding in JavaScript. Watch more videos of it to get a sense, and also check out the main page.
What is the Magikcraft Hack Day?
During the day we run two streams you can participate in. In the morning we go through the "Introduction to Magikcraft", In the afternoon we do "Advanced Magikcraft", including developing your own spells.
Here are some videos from previous Hack Days:
Who Should Come?
Every winning team is made of people who bring unique abilities.
The Minecrafter
Do you Minecraft? You design and build in Minecraft. You create wonderful scenarios for others to play, discover, and create magic in. And in the afternoon, they'll be playing through them. Today, you'll be crafting delight.
The Story Teller
Do you love telling stories? Magikcraft is story-driven. Immersive and engaging scenarios lead to "incidental learning". Kids learn best while they play. Love playing games? Create a scenario that kids can play in, and watch them play through it straight away!
The Educator
Do you love teaching? Put the hidden structure inside the Magikcraft scenario where "incidental learning" is the main point. Immersed in the story and the interaction with others, kids don't even notice that they are learning. That's how good your lesson is. And you get to see it happen live in front of you.
The Code Magician
Do you code in JavaScript? No prior Minecraft experience necessary. Develop, deploy, and see kids aged 8-14 have the time of their lives with the code you wrote - all within a few hours. There is nothing like that feedback loop.
The Expert in Nothing
Do you know nothing about coding, or even Minecraft? Perfect! You are the Expert in Nothing. Everyone else on team has unconscious competence - and that leads to hidden assumptions. You shine the light on that, and create a delightful experience that gets delivered a few hours later!
The Beta Tester (ages 8-14)
Attend the afternoon session from 2pm - 5pm and play through new scenarios in Magikcraft. YOU BE THE JUDGE - you'll be choosing the winning teams.
