Minecraft, a video game originally conceptualized by Swedish programmer Markus "Notch" Persson and later developed and published by the Swedish company Mojang. The creative and building aspects of Minecraft enable players to build constructions out of textured cubes in a 3D procedurally generated world.
With the objective to expose students to computer science, Microsoft and Code.org - a nonprofit institution - has recently revealed a Minecraft coding that will serve as a tutorial guide for kids and educators. It will be launched as part of the third annual global Hour of Code campaign which will take place on December 7 through 13.
Using the characters from the "Star Wars" films, Disney has also recently released an identical Code.org tutorial during the earlier part of this month.
