Riding roller coasters is so much fun, but building your own is a different kind of thrill. Make a roller coaster in Minecraft using minecarts, powered rails, and redstone. Develop your engineering, sequential logic, and spatial reasoning skills as you make your coaster pass through underground caverns or soar high into the air. The only limit to your roller coaster is your imagination!

Immerse yourself in the world of Avatar the Last Airbender while tackling the complexity of coding concepts. Using Minecraft as your canvas, you’ll harness the power of the four elements—air, water, earth, and fire—by modifying the game’s underlying code. Create powerful objects and abilities that don’t exist in the game. Learn Java programming to build mods from the ground up and “hack” the game through your creativity and problem-solving.

Master your engineering skills and explore architecture using tens of thousands of LEGO parts. Design and build as never before, and explore your craziest ideas in a supportive environment. Build structures like tunnel boring machines, stilt houses, and teacup rides, or construct elaborate houseboats, heavy-duty forklifts, and Big Ben clock towers.You can sign up for one week or more—we’ll focus on different projects each time.
