MindCraft

MindCraft is a computer science outreach program for pre-college students. At Carnegie Mellon, we believe in ideas that change the world, and computer science can transform your ideas into reality. 

A fun and interactive experience, you will spend the day exploring programming, solving problems and learning other skills within computer science. We want you to learn and enjoy computer science and imagine yourself making your career in this exciting field.

MindCraft is organized and supported by the Hamad Bin Jassim Center for Computer Science Education, a partnership between Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar and the Jassim and Hamad Bin Jassim Charitable Foundation.
