I’ve been jotting down some ideas on content for a Minecraft command programming workshop to run over school holidays. I’ve some experience in real-time programming in the real world, and I’d like to apply some of that experience to make a programming workshop that introduces some real-time and multitasking programming concepts.

The question I’m asking myself now is how much should the workshop be about programming concepts and how much should it be about just getting familiar with commands in Minecraft? Probably I’ll keep focusing on programming concepts, but I might change course if it turns out the kids are really keen to learn more about commands.

If you would like a safe place for you or your Minecraft obsessed son or daughter to meet like minded people, and you also live in Melbourne’s western suburbs where that would seem to be impossible, it would be great if you could let me know. If enough people are interested I’d be happy to organise a community group.

Please note that I have a Working With Children Check card for my tutoring business, and I’m a parent myself, but even so I won’t be doing any childminding by myself. Someone else would have to volunteer to help look after any kids that got dropped off.
