Digital Literacy with Minecraft (MiniMarkets)

A playful, community-themed introduction to coding in Minecraft Education

Mini Markets is a beginner-friendly coding program for students in Prep to Year 2, introducing coding through fun, shop- and market-themed adventures.

In this program, children use simple commands and sequences inside Minecraft Education to build mini shops, design stalls, and interact with small digital marketplaces. Activities are creative, hands-on, and confidence-building—helping students explore early coding ideas such as sequencing, interaction, and basic logic while learning about sharing, fairness, and community spaces.
