Programme content

Nine themed worldsthat make up the season

Learn through play

What your child learns throughout the programme

It isn't just playing on a computer. Every class has a plan and a goal: instead of listening to someone talk about a topic, children explore it by solving tasks, doing experiments, building models and working in teams.

Critical and logical thinking

Analyses the situation, looks for cause and effect and chooses a solution.

Creativity and design thinking

Plans a build, tests ideas and refines the result.

Teamwork

Shares roles, resources and responsibility towards a common goal.

Communication and vocabulary

Explains their ideas, talks about their work and learns new English words.

Spatial thinking

Understands scale, coordinates, distance and space.

Resource and time planning

Works within limits on materials, size and time.

Digital literacy and safety

Uses devices and accounts safely and follows the rules.

Growth mindset

Isn't afraid to make mistakes: fixes them, tests again and keeps going.

The technical side

You probably already have everything you need at home

The online format is deliberately simple: no special equipment and no paid gaming accounts. Both required licences are included in the monthly fee.

  • A Windows computer, Mac or ChromebookA tablet isn't recommended, as building is much easier with a keyboard and mouse.
  • Stable internet connectionRegular home Wi-Fi is perfectly fine.
  • Headphones with a microphoneRecommended so your child can hear the teacher clearly and speak up with confidence.
  • Minecraft: Education Edition licenceIncluded in the priceNo personal Minecraft account needed — we provide everything.
  • Microsoft Teams licenceIncluded in the priceWe'll send the login details before the first class.
