Minecraft Essentials!

Minecraft has over 100 million users across various platforms, and educators are increasingly using the game as a teaching tool. So what is it, and how can your kids benefit?

How Minecraft works

At its core, Minecraft is about placing and mining blocks. The game world consists of 3D objects—mainly cubes—that represent materials such as dirt, stone, various ores, water and tree trunks. Players gather these material blocks and use them to form various constructions.

You can pretty much code anything to construct buildings and beautifully surrounded environments. They learn to manage resources. It’s great for beginners who haven’t tried programming. You can do anything you want, limited only by your imagination.
