Minecraft Cup

Competition History

Coding Lab students have participated in the annual Minecraft Cup competition every year since it started in 2019!  Our teams have won top awards like Best Coding Team in Japan, Creative Programming award, and the prestigious Tokyo Bad eSG award (twice!). 

Coding Lab’s dedicated and passionate staff of expert teachers mentor and help teams of students from Japan and Singapore work together, organize, design, build and code their worlds. 

Every year students, ages 7-18, push themselves to improve and do better and better.

Would you like to join the Coding Lab team this year? We’d love to see your creative ideas and what you come up with to code and build!
