This camp takes students deeper into Minecraft as they explore how real engineering concepts can be applied in the virtual world. Using Redstone, students will design and build complex contraptions while learning to troubleshoot and refine their creations. They will work with components such as hoppers, repeaters, and observers to create advanced machines and mechanisms. Projects include building secret traps, automated doors, and even flying machines powered by pistons. This hands-on experience combines creativity, problem-solving, and technical skills in a fun and engaging setting. Co-sponsored with Future Technology Education.
