Exceed Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya, Tokyo; CEO: Aiko Sawabe), operator of the digital talent development service 'TechHigher' for teenagers, has opened the 'Minecraft Master Online Course,' a fully online curriculum utilizing the world-famous educational game 'Minecraft.' Under the philosophy of 'not creating financial walls in education,' the service offers an industry-low price starting at 1,430 yen per month (tax included), providing an inquiry-based Minecraft curriculum accessible from anywhere in the country.
■ Background
In recent years, Minecraft-based programming schools and online courses have proliferated across Japan, with many high-cost services exceeding 10,000 yen per month. Families who wish to use Minecraft as an 'entry point for learning' are currently facing significant price hurdles.
Having previously worked on digital talent development for teenagers through creative materials like 'Roblox,' 'Fortnite (UEFN),' and 'Scratch,' our company has leveraged that experience to develop the Minecraft Master Online Course as a low-cost, high-quality alternative that anyone can start with confidence.
■ Features of the Service
1. Overwhelmingly Affordable: Industry's Lowest Price
Starting at 1,430 yen/month (less than half the cost of other companies), making it easy to continue. A 14-day free trial is available for an easy start.
2. Comprehensive Learning of Architecture, Circuitry, and Programming
Fosters creativity and logical thinking through architecture, Redstone, and command inputs. This inquiry-based curriculum allows students to learn the basics of creation while 'playing.' It can also be used alongside other materials (no usage restrictions or contractual lock-ins).
3. Broad Support for Elementary Students
Available for students from 3rd grade up. Flexible design allows learners to start from any lesson depending on their interest and proficiency. Students can submit and share works such as observatories, ships, automatic doors, and jump pads.
4. Fully Online Support
Home learning requires no pick-up or drop-off, allowing students to study at their own pace from anywhere in the country.
■ Course Overview
[Target] Elementary 3rd grade and up
[Content] Integrated experience of architecture, circuit design, and programming
[Deliverables] Observatory, ship, automatic door, alarm system, jump pad, teleport center, etc.
[Duration] 12 months and up (twice a month pace)
[Fees] Annual lump-sum plan: 17,160 yen (approx. 1,430 yen/month) / Monthly plan: 2,200 yen
[Free Trial] 14-day trial available
[Required Environment] PC compatible with Minecraft Education Edition (Latest Chrome required for video viewing)
■ Educational Effects and Future Development
The curriculum aims to cultivate creativity, logical thinking, spatial recognition, and problem-solving skills. Students naturally acquire skills such as typing, English command comprehension, and information organization.
In the future, we plan to implement hybrid learning combining partner classrooms and online sessions, collaborations with schools, free schools, companies, and local governments (free provision for students with school refusal issues under certain conditions), and expansions with MODs and add-ons.
■ CEO Comment
'While many educational services use Minecraft, what we aimed for was to provide essential learning at a price everyone can continue. The Minecraft Master Online Course is a new curriculum where children can learn architecture, circuitry, and programming integrally, starting from their own interests. Learn while playing, and create while learning. We want to deliver that experience to every household.'
