The Mill Hoppers Club for 11 – 16 Year Olds

February 2016 saw the launch of our new Mill Hoppers group aimed at young people aged 11-16 year old, and we hope to see it’s continual growth in 2023! The group meets once a month for workshops based around arts, science, engineering and digital technology.

Minecraft Workshops

Joel’s Minecraft workshops in 2023 will cover a variety of topics based around our planet and how we live on it. The group will use Minecraft to learn about everything from farming and ecology to mining and exploration using a blend of gaming, education, information and play.

The group will use a range of maps to explore and conquer, build and create, compete and challenge, and they will also look at some of the coding concepts behind command blocks and behaviour packs, as they extend their knowledge of what Minecraft can do!
