Come help us build an epic Minecraft Winter Village using ice, gingerbread, and your very own executive function skills! Students can create ice palaces, gingerbread houses, and so much more. IMPORTANT: Requires Minecraft Java Edition.

Class experience

1. Students will learn about good organization skills and bad organization skills in Minecraft Java Edition. 

2. Students will demonstrate organizational skills by breaking down a large project into workable smaller parts as we build our Minecraft Village in a systematic way.

3. Students will connect how organization can make life easier by creating order and saving time. 

LearningWorks for Kids (LW4K) views gameplay as a foundation for children’s learning. LW4K LIVE classes leverage children's attention, persistence, and love of gaming as tools for developing executive functioning, social-emotional, and academic skills used in and out of game play. Our teachers are expert gamers, trained in psychology and education with the goal of making game-based learning into real world skills.  But playing games is not enough! We apply evidenced-based strategic teaching principles and the LW4K model of “Detect, Reflect, and Connect” to make gameplay  “Digitally Nutritious” and help students identify, think about, and then apply the skills they are practicing in gameplay to the real world.

While our classes are great fun, there is always a teaching component included. Typically we spend about 10 minutes at the beginning of class, talking, watching video, and strategizing about our targeted skill (e.g. Planning, Time Management, Organization, Flexibility, etc). During gameplay which takes up the remainder of the class, we apply the “Detect, Reflect, and Connect” strategies to promote real world learning. Your kids will have a blast playing video games with our teacher and learn skills that will help them at home, school, and in their daily activities.
Our dedicated, experienced Learning Works for Kids instructors always make sure that every session is just as enjoyable as it is educational. This course will be led by a member of our LearningWorks LIVE team.

Students will be using our LearningWorks server to play together in the same space. In order to do this, we will need your child's gamer tag in order to identify them as members of the class. No additional purchases are necessary to access the server and your course instructor will walk you and your child through the process of joining if needed. The server is used as a communal space for building and sharing work within the game and is monitored by our class instructor at all times.
