Minecraft Game Design Camp
Ages: 7-9 | Beg-Adv

Kids turn Minecraft into a playable world of their own design while learning core game design and storytelling concepts.

On Campus at SFSU

In between Minecraft summer camps held at SFSU, students will:

  • Chow down at City Eats alongside future tech disruptors
  • Walk the same halls as illustrious alumni like Daren Kagasoff, Alex Borstein, and others
  • Explore famous campus landmarks like Burk Hall, J. Paul Leonard Library, and Cox Stadium
  • Bond with friends during outdoor activities and games in SFSU's ample green spaces
  • Laugh ‘til their sides hurt with spontaneous dance-offs, theme days, and Pie-Your-Instructor Fridays 

"Our son loved his week at camp! He learned a tremendous amount in terms of coding in Minecraft and had individualized attention by the instructors to improve his ideas. Most importantly though is that he found “his people”. Our son is less physically inclined and more intellectually stimulated as were the other kids at camp! He’ll be back next summer for more weeks of camp!"
