From July 14 to 18, 2025, Óbuda University’s Steam Office hosted two parallel, thematic Minecraft camps as part of its Summer Children’s University program. These camps blended playful exploration with structured STEAM education to nurture future engineers and tech thinkers.
🌱 Green City Development
Participants built models of water mills, wind turbines, steam engines, and a railway network, exploring mechanical energy, urban planning, and sustainable infrastructure. They also created solar-powered systems, generators, transformers, power lines, and a functioning electricity grid—all designed with eco-friendly principles in mind.
💻 Programming Fundamentals in Minecraft
This camp introduced binary logic (AND, OR, NOT) and redstone circuits to create a working binary adder. Children learned Linux command-line basics (mkdir, cd, edit, ls), and scripted in Lua, programming “turtle” robots and wireless controls to build automated systems.
Over the week, children visited the university’s IT-Evolution exhibition, gaining insight into real-world energy and IT systems—guiding them from gameplay to broader career and STEM awareness.
