Beginner Level
In our Dewey Inspired Educational Server, students will use Minecraft (Java edition) for all of its full potential. BUILDS * REDSTONE ARCHITECTURE * EXPERIMENTS WITH JAVA PHYSICS! 🟥 Architecture contests and towns galore. If they can dream it, we can build it! We can go over different art & society types, we can visit the forbidden library and learn about lithography and world history. So join us! And together we can learn about everything the cube world has to offer! 🟥 You’ll play in a Minecraft world filled with other students who love the thrill of a good adventure, so you can connect with them and make new friends. Best of all, you’ll have the help of a counselor to guide you through this journey should you ever get stuck or need any tips. (Mods not required) 🟥 With a strong focus on team-building, you’ll play with other gamers like yourself to help each other survive in an exciting custom Minecraft world. 🟥 You’ll learn different mechanics and how to set goals and achieve them. As you level up and unlock hidden parts of the world, you and your friends will face new challenges that can be conquered together with strategic planning. 🟥 Our approach is project-based. We strongly believe that engaged, happy students are the best learners. Our projects have an end goal, and most are game based. We use coding to solve a problem. Platform: Minecraft Java or Bedrock Edition for PC, Mac, iPad, Tablet, or Console. Gamer tags will be required for the class to enter the private server. Learners or parents can message gamer tags directly through a private message, not in the classroom. Private servers will only be open during class time.
