Digital Literacy with Minecraft (CritterCraft)

A gentle, nature-themed introduction to coding in Minecraft Education

CritterCraft is the perfect beginner-friendly introduction to coding in Minecraft Education, designed for young students who are just starting their digital learning journey.

In this program, children learn the essentials of drag-and-drop coding inside Minecraft Education while building charming animal- and nature-themed worlds. These activities are intentionally simple, creative, and confidence-building—helping students grasp early coding ideas such as sequencing, cause-and-effect, and basic commands.

  • Build foundational drag-and-drop coding skills inside Minecraft Education

If your child is not proficient with using a laptop trackpad, please bring your own MOUSE.  If you would like to save work to take home, please also bring along a USB. 
Minecraft Education provides minimum recommended system requirements for Windows, Mac, iPad and Android devices. It is highly recommended that students’ device specifications are well above these requirements, as older slower devices can struggle with processing speed.
