If your child spends hours building landscapes and adventures in Minecraft or perhaps battling friends in Roblox, you may well wonder whether all this screen time can be turned into something more productive.
Well, the answer is yes, particularly with the FunTech coding courses. We specialise in helping children channel their passion for gaming into valuable coding skills which will go far beyond just play.
From blocks to code
Minecraft is designed around on logic and patterns, which makes it a fantastic entry point for kids who want to get into coding. At FunTech, we use Minecraft’s coding features to introduce children to concepts like variables, loops, and commands. It’s a seamless way to show how the fun they’re already having connects to coding languages like Python.

Roblox and game design
Roblox isn’t just about playing games – it’s about creating them. With the FunTech Roblox courses, kids learn how to script with Lua, Roblox’s coding language, and design their own playable worlds. This gives them a sense of ownership and creativity while learning coding foundations.
Confidence through creation
Building a functioning game or mod is incredibly rewarding. Children see their ideas come to life on screen, which boosts their confidence and encourages them to keep learning. These projects also demonstrate the direct link between play and practical coding skills.
Transferable skills for the future
The creativity, problem-solving, and persistence kids learn through coding extend into schoolwork and future opportunities. They also gain a head start on digital skills that will be essential in tomorrow’s workplace.
