Mini Metrocraft: Our Class Creates a Minecraft City!
Class experience
We are proud to offer this younger version of our Metrocraft program for 6-8 year-olds. In this class, our students create a small town in a virtual Minecraft-type world. In class 1, they learn the basics of how to use our Minetest program and use those skills to create their own house in Week 2. We complete group projects in class and learn about voting and making group decisions. We design and build a city farm in Week 3. We also learn about key civic buildings, giving students an inside...
This class is taught in English.
Students use a public version of Minecraft to create a small town while also learning the basics of voting and decision-making.

We use a public domain version of Minetest instead of Minecraft, which is better for this civics-based program for a number of reasons: 1) We find that the mobs, invisibility, withers, potions and the like in Minecraft makes for a not-so-realistic atmosphere. Minetest works better for a civics class as it is more realistic. 2) There are mods we put into Minetest to allow for more decorations, cars, signs and other items that makes it easier to say, design a business or decorate a home. Minecraft has mods available too but in order to run them on our server, everyone signed up for the class would have to download them all on their own computers, which is technically challenging for many families. Minetest includes them automatically. 3) Minetest is free which allows more students to participate in the class. Please note THIS PROGRAM DOES NOT GENERALLY WORK ON TABLETS. We provide instructions for how to download Minetest onto PCs, Macs and Chromebooks.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
We have designed our own kid-friendly powerpoints on various civics subjects (mentioned above) for the direct instruction portion of the class.
