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.

Computer Requirements
Students are required to bring their own device and power cord. Accepted devices include laptops (Windows, Mac) and iPads/Tablets. If students are using an iPad, we highly recommend you also bring a detachable keyboard (Bluetooth tethered).
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.
