New Minecraft Course! AGENT RECALL<\/strong>
<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tynker is excited to announce the launch of our new Minecraft course, Agent Recall: A Virtual Escape Room<\/strong>. Why are we so excited? Well, our talented developers have never created anything quite like this!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We listened to our coders who love Minecraft<\/a> and pledged to take the fun up a notch, or ten<\/em>, while still making a course teaching valuable coding skills. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this incredible Minecraft adventure, your child will use their coding skills to unlock a series of secrets to overcome obstacles as they traverse through a game world.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agent Recall<\/a> is available to everyone with a paid home subscription. Minecraft for Windows 10<\/a> version 1.16.210 or higher is required for this course.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students will use Tynker Block coding to program the challenges in this course, which is recommended for kids ages 7+. No previous coding experience is required.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start the course by following onscreen instructions to load the custom Minecraft world, and you’re good to go!
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does it work?<\/strong>
<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To start this adventure, download the Minecraft world and install it in your Minecraft client. You\u2019ll then be able to explore the world with Tynker and Minecraft side-by-side on your screen. Just write your code on the left and instantly watch the results in your Minecraft world!
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This course focuses on creating Minecraft Mods, or code that can augment your Minecraft world as you play, offering a perfect starting point for anyone who wants to learn how to create Minecraft mods<\/a> while following fundamental coding principles.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The goal of Agent Recall <\/strong>is to solve all the coding challenges in 6 amazing adventure worlds<\/em><\/strong>. To finish this course, you’ll complete 48 challenges! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you complete each world, you\u2019ll collect a key. With all 6 keys, you\u2019ll be able to unlock the multiplayer game world with 4 additional programmable games that you can code and play with your friends.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Western Wilds<\/strong>, you’ll learn the basics of coding in Minecraft by solving puzzles, giving yourself items, and applying effects to survive in this dangerous western-themed world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then in Precious Pastures,<\/strong> you\u2019ll learn how to use loops, summon mobs, solve movement puzzles, and meet your Minecraft agent, Codey! \u2014a helpful robot you can control with code in this fantastic forest world!
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blustery Cove <\/strong>is a sunken water world where you learn how to teleport, creating basic structures and teleporting past obstacles. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Chilly Cavern’s<\/strong> frozen world, you use loops and conditional logic to program agent Codey to help you detect traps and navigate around tight spaces.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scallywag Beach<\/strong> is a tropical world where you’ll learn how to use event parameters and variables to make your code more powerful, so you can scour the seas as a pirate, find buried treasure, and survive Codebeard’s trials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, in Skyward Spire, <\/strong>you\u2019ll learn to define functions, then combine everything you’ve learned from the other worlds to climb the spire! Build bridges through the sky, complete minecart tracks, and try not to fall as you race to collect the final key!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
