Minecraft is the club parents are most skeptical about, and the one that most reliably changes their mind. Redstone is a genuine logic system: gates, delays, latches and clocks. A student who builds a working automatic door has built a circuit, whether or not anyone used that word.
Beyond Redstone, students work on collaborative builds with constraints, which turns out to be excellent practice for the parts of engineering that involve other people.
Tracks
Students enter at the level that matches their experience and move up as they are ready.
- Creative — building, structure, planning before placing
- Survival — resource management and problem solving under constraint
- Challenges — timed and specification-based builds
- Redstone — circuit logic, gates, automation
- Adventures — designing custom worlds for other people to play
What students actually learn
- Logic and sequencing through Redstone circuitry
- Planning a build before starting it, and revising when it does not work
- Collaborative building — agreeing a plan and sticking to it
- Command blocks and basic automation
A brief, as students receive it
Build a door that opens only when two separate switches are on, and closes by itself after five seconds. You may not stand there and close it yourself.
We give the requirements, not the steps. Working out how is the lesson — and the reason students can explain what they built when they get home.
The question parents actually ask
“Why would I pay for a game they already play at home?”
Because what happens here is not the game. At home they build what they feel like. Here they get a specification they did not choose, a constraint they cannot argue with, and an instructor who asks them to explain why their circuit works. The game is the doorway; the logic is the room.
Where it leads
Minecraft students very often move into Roblox or Robotics — the Redstone habits transfer to both surprisingly well.
Questions
Do we need to own Minecraft?
No. Accounts and machines are provided in the center. If your child has their own world they want to bring, that is welcome but never required.
Is this Java or Bedrock?
We teach Redstone and command-block logic that transfers across both. Advanced students working on custom adventures use Java.
When do clubs run?
Clubs run September 2026 to June 2027, one hour a week. This club runs Mondays, 3:30–4:30 pm, at 73 Central Street, Wellesley. It starts Monday 21 September and runs to 30 June 2027.
What does it cost?
$199 a month, one hour a week, one topic. You pay for ten months, September to June — July and August are not billed, because clubs do not run then. Taking a second club at the same time? $180 a month for each extra one. Brothers and sisters get 5% off, and that comes off both prices. Materials are included. Stop any time with 30 days’ notice — no term to see out, no penalty, no phone call you have to win. Nothing renews on its own in September; every family chooses again each year.
How is a club different from the Belt Program?
A club is one hour a week, in a larger group, focused on one topic. The Belt Program is two hours a week across a ten-month year, in a group of about six, with a written progress report every month and a capstone project. AI Studio is one hour a week, self-paced, with the work tuned to your child by their instructor. Plenty of students do more than one.
What if we need to miss a week?
Tell us in advance and we will place your child in another group that week where the schedule allows. We run on school holidays too — a day off school is not a day off club. We are closed 24 December to 7 January.
Can we stop?
Yes. Stop any time with 30 days’ notice — no term to see out, no penalty, no phone call you have to win. Email wellesley107@icodeschool.com, or the Managing Director, Soundarya Ganesh, at soundarya.ganesh@icodeschool.com.
