An INTRODUCTION TO ALGORITHMS using the REDSTONE
Is your child familiar with Minecraft already? Then, they are ready to explore further and master the power of the Redstone.

There are no prerequisites, but they must be used to using a computer.
Some aspects of game creation have been simplified to be accessible to beginners, but the principles and methods are those of professionals.
This course is for young people who love computers and are ready to take on technical challenges and use complex software.
Hardware – You need a computer that provides average performance. That would be a processor of at least 2 GHz. No Chromebook or tablets are allowed. To test your computer’s performance, download and run the Minecraft demo. If it runs smoothly, your computer is powerful enough.
Make sure you have enough bandwidth to allow video calls. Also, have a webcam, a microphone, headphones, and a mouse to facilitate your child’s experience.
Software – You need to buy, download, and install Minecraft Java Edition.
We welcome varied profiles, with success, thanks to flexible and personalized teaching tools.

ADD/ADHD
High-level ASD
Difficulties in reading, writing and language
Lack of interest in school
Excessive video game practice
