Mijn zoon leerde de basis van programmeren via Minecraft en was zo enthousiast dat hij elke les zelf wilde beginnen.

Awalnya saya ragu mengajari anak coding karena saya sendiri tidak mengerti, tapi pendekatan lewat Minecraft membuat semuanya jadi menyenangkan. Anak saya belajar berpikir logis dan memecahkan masalah sambil membangun dunianya sendiri, tanpa merasa sedang belajar. Penjelasannya cocok untuk orang tua dan anak sekaligus. Saya berharap ada lebih banyak contoh proyek lanjutan, tapi untuk pemula ini sudah sangat bagus dan saya rekomendasikan.

Mein Sohn lernt spielerisch mit Minecraft die ersten Programmierschritte, und wir haben beide riesigen Spaß dabei!

マインクラフトを使いながら子どもと一緒にコーディングの基礎を学べるのは楽しかったですが、もう少しレベルが上がる後半のパートは親のサポートが必要でした。
