Minecraft: Education Edition

Minecraft Education is a game-based platform that aims to inspire creative and inclusive learning via play. Within this game, players have the opportunity to explore blocky worlds, which can unlock novel methods for tackling any subject or challenge. The game offers the ability to learn, grow and build in subjects like reading, math, history, and coding, as well as in creative open worlds. As a player, you have the freedom to utilize various ready-to-teach lessons, creative challenges, and blank canvas worlds, which allows for easy customization tailored to the needs of your students without requiring any previous gaming experience.

The Minecraft Education platform provides learners with an opportunity to develop key skills that will help them to excel in the future workplace. Learners can gain skills such as problem-solving, digital citizenship, collaboration, and critical thinking, which are essential requirements across various industries. With the help of Minecraft Education, students can build a passion for STEM and engage in real-world topics with culturally relevant lessons and building challenges.

The platform offers multiplayer mode, supporting collaboration in-game across platforms, devices, and hybrid environments, as well as an intuitive interface and in-game execution system to create block-based coding, JavaScript, and Python programs through Code Builder. Furthermore, players can utilize the Immersive Reader to read and translate text, along with Camera and Book & Quill items to document and export in-game creations. Finally, faculty can integrate Minecraft Education with Microsoft Teams and Flipgrid to support assessment and teacher controls.
