AI has the exciting potential to unlock new and innovative ways in how we work, learn, and create, especially in computer science. You’ve probably experienced these possibilities firsthand, unless you’ve been too busy down the mines! But what if learning about AI could be as fun and adventurous as surviving your first night in Minecraft?

This year, Minecraft Education and Code.org are teaming up to make AI learning an epic adventure. Our long-standing partner, Code.org, has evolved Hour of Code into Hour of AI, a global initiative that brings the excitement of coding and AI to millions of students. And now, with our new Hour of AI world, The First Night, students get to experience the thrill of Minecraft while discovering how AI and AI agents work and how to use them responsibly.

SURVIVE THE NIGHT—WITH AN AGENT BY YOUR SIDE!

Imagine stepping into Minecraft, facing the classic challenge: gathering resources, building shelter, and keeping the zombies at bay. But this time, you’re not alone!

Students will team up with the beloved, blocky Minecraft Agent who needs their help to learn, adapt, and survive. Through MakeCode and Python programming, they will teach the Agent to recognize patterns, classify resources, and coordinate mini-agent helpers, just like a real AI system.
