This bundle is designed for ages 11 through 18, but it's likely to be a good fit for any Minecraft fan who has little to no experience with coding. Using JavaScript and Python, your kid will get extensive walkthroughs on creating their own items, blocks, weapons and more.

There are four courses in this bundle: Minecraft mods in Java, JavaScript game design, JavaScript tower defense and Python coding for kids multiplayer adventures. At the end of each course, kids will have the ability to share their mods, start an online portfolio and code simple things. When you grab this deal, it's yours for life and it's accessible via desktop and mobile.
