Teach Kids Coding with Minecraft

LA2050 is a non-profit member driven community space for makers, tinkerers and DIYers of all ages to create and collaborate. A current proposal is to teach underserved kids in Los Angeles how to code in Minecraft. They've been teaching kids at LA Public Library branches and half the kids are girls - and they are excited about learning because Minecraft is fun and they are learning with their friends. Please help by placing your vote for them here:
