Minecraft Education – STEM and Project Based Learning

Session Format: Virtual

Target Audience: K-12th Grade Teachers

This session will focus on how students can use Minecraft Education as a STEM tool and how it can easily be used for PBL opportunities. I will share the successes and roadblocks of piloting Minecraft Education in my district for this sole purpose. Having some prior knowledge of Minecraft Education will benefit participants as we explore and play during this session.

If you do not already have Minecraft Education, it is strongly recommended that participants download the free trial. Note that the trial allows for 25 logins.
