I'm a mom, gameschooler, and learner FOR LIFE!  Minecraft helps make this so much more fun!

Being a gameschooling family, Minecraft has been a part of our homeschool days since the purchase of our first copy...for the XBOX 360.  Since then we've expanded the collection, and can be found playing on numerous platforms!  It's taken on many roles through the years, in our home, and it's been really fun to come up with creative ways to add in another Minecraft project here and there.  I love that it offers so many different ways to explore, and so many different ways to be creative.  It really does let kids do what they want in a world all for them.  Allowing their imagination to run wild, one block at a time!!  I have enjoyed teaching my "Minecraft Builders Challenge Clubs" on Outschool and wanted to come up with a way to make it available to more students.  With the ongoing club students come up with the ideas for each challenge, but with these FLEX classes I get to come up with them!  I have really enjoyed that!  Theme builds and book builds have to be 2 of my most favorite things to do in Minecraft.  I'm a creative, peaceful mode girl!   

I can't wait to see what these movie world builds turns out like.  I am really excited to see how this challenge, and movie, will inspire every single architect that enrolls in this class.  My intention for this class is to spark interest in themes students might not have thought of on their own.  It will also give everyone a chance to see the different design choices that can be dreamed up on this versatile gaming platform.  This class is designed for students with Minecraft knowledge.  There will be no lessons on how to use Minecraft.  This class is all about designing a build that revolves around the movie.  How each student interprets the challenge is up to them.  

I really enjoy teaching my Minecraft Builders Book Clubs.  Being able to pair a Minecraft build challenge with a movie had to be the next Outschool class I added to my list.  I look forward to seeing what each student comes up!  So, grab your popcorn and let's get this movie 'n build started!

Students will need to have access to Minecraft.  Any platform will work.
Students will need to obtain their own copy of the movie, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs.
