A team of computer scientists has developed a software package that allows users to learn how to program while playing the popular video game.

In addition to Hour of Code, students are learning with Minecraft: Education Edition, a version of the game for classroom use that includes a special feature on coding.

The latest new feature in Minecraft: Education Edition makes it possible for students to learn how to code while playing the game.

Minecraft: Education Edition can now teach kids how to code with the new Code Builder tool and the 'Agent', an in-game robot. Mojang will add Command Blocks in Education Edition later this year.

Minecraft Education Edition offers a whole host of learning opportunities. There are current events, chemistry and so many other fields for players to get into.
