Miscellaneous / / December 08, 2023
The secret to successful learning is to combine what children love with what will contribute to their development. The main difficulty here is to interest the guys and keep their interest. What, if not the legendary game Minecraft, will help you do this?!
Minecraft is one of the most popular and one of the best-selling video games of all time, attracting a huge gaming community and offering many educational opportunities in different directions.
A large number of people around the world use Minecraft for educational purposes: starting with courses in universities dedicated to the study and development of artificial intelligence, ending with schools and summer camps. This popular computer game is also used in the study of disciplines such as chemistry, physics, mathematics, and even history and many others!
If you want to introduce your child to the basics of mathematics and develop logical thinking, sign him up for the “Mathematics in Minecraft” course, designed for children aged 6 to 8 years. We will increase children's cognitive interest and intellectual abilities, so that it will be easy for them to adapt to school loads.
The 3-month course is perfect for preschoolers, as it includes sections of mathematics for younger students. The program is aimed at developing logical thinking, creative abilities of children and their interest in mathematics.
The children receive all this knowledge in a playful way: each lesson we reinforce the material by playing various mini-games and completing group tasks.
During training, much attention is paid to the development of so-called soft skills. In classes you need to work in a team and communicate, just like professionals do in companies. For example, based on the knowledge and skills acquired, students will develop a group creative project: building a house. In addition, by working together on projects, students develop leadership skills, creativity, as well as time management, problem solving and decision-making skills.
