What the week actually is

Minecraft earns its place because redstone is genuine logic-gate work and children will do hours of it voluntarily. The camp uses the engagement and then makes the logic explicit, so the learning survives outside the game.

Day by day

  1. Paper prototype, no computer
  2. Playtest and take the criticism
  3. Balance passes on the numbers
  4. Build the digital version
  5. Showcase: strangers play it in front of you
