• Watch the intro video to get acquainted with this Hour of Code theme

• Watch the walkthrough video to get a better understanding of how to start the lesson and navigate the world

• Open the world and play through the activity.

Program the Minecraft Agent to solve coding challenges! Collect all the puzzle pieces scattered around the town to make the town portrait!

• Create coding solutions that include sequences, loops, while loops and nested loops (CSTA 1A-AP-10);

• Decompose (break down) the steps needed to solve a problem into a precise sequence of instructions (CSTA 1A-AP-11);

• Iterate on solutions to complete a task.

• The lesson is a continuation of the AI for Good Hour of Code lesson that should be completed as a Part 1 of the experience

Student Activities

The activities can be completed in random order:

Activity 1: Dance Floor!

Match the color on the wall with the colors on the floor. Help Wonder Woman move over the colored blocks in the same sequence as seen on the wall.

Objective

As the world population grows, optimizing food production is becoming increasingly more important. Your challenge this month is to code the Agent to improve the efficiency of growing and harvesting crops through automation. Just like in the real world, crops in Minecraft have special requirements to successfully grow. Use the book and quill to take notes on the choices you made to automate your farm and about the variety of crops you chose to grow.
