ARROYO GRANDE, Calif. - June 1, 2015 - PRLog -- Arroyo Grande, California - June 1, 2015 - The LearnToMod With Minecraft summer workshops offered by local tech firm, Advantly, gives kids and teens an introduction to Computer Science through a highly popular trend: Minecraft modding.

“Mods” are a popular way to make the Minecraft experience more enjoyable for many players. By adding them to a game, players can change the entire way the game looks and even create their own levels.

By attending one of the summer LearnToMod workshops, kids and teens will get an introduction to Computer Programming, have a fully functional mod by the end of the 3-day experience, and receive a certification in 1 beginner-level LearnToMod course.

“Traditional summer camps are great, but we wanted to offer something that kids and parents could get equally excited about’” says Misty Lackie, CEO and Founder of Advantly. “With the popularity of Minecraft among kids, and the growing demand for Computer Programming skills in today’s workforce, I think we found the sweet spot for a Summer program that is fun and beneficial”.

"No game in history has captured the hearts and imagination of so many children, ranging from 5 years old to 15 years old… and is also the one game that a lot of us parents don't mind our children playing, because it is so creative," says Huffington Post writer, Ondi Timoner.
