Hour of Code Co-Taught Lesson with Minecraft: Education Edition
November 16, 2021
Free Funded by Minecraft Education
Travel through time to solve coding puzzles and save the future!
In this year’s free Minecraft: Education Edition Hour of Code lesson, students are challenged to travel back through time to correct mysterious mishaps throughout history using their coding skills. From the great jazz players of the 1920s who are playing kazoos instead of trumpets to the grand pyramids of Giza that are being built as cubes instead of triangles, your students will use their creativity to solve fun puzzles through time!
Inside this 90-minute co-taught lesson, you and your class will choose their own adventure and connect with great innovators and inventions in science, architecture, music, engineering, and more.
Let us be your co-teacher for this coding adventure
