Minecraft for ages 8 - 12
Typically, kids play Minecraft at home with little to no direction or goals
in mind. Now, approach gameplay from a new angle to learn how to
think critically about your work with the infinite possibilities of the
game. Create themes, storylines, dialog between characters, objectives,
goals, and more. Most anything imaginable can be performed in
Minecraft. It is the epitome of creativity­limitless opportunity to build,
discover, and problem-solve. In recent years, the game has gained
traction as an educational tool, acknowledged by many as an important
vehicle for engaging kids in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering,
and Math) fields such as programming, video game design &
development, level design, and more. There will be supervised breaks
with outdoor activities planned.
