This is the "multi-day" version of the popular "Understanding Money & Economics Using Minecraft: 7-11-Year-Olds", that will explain money, economics & business using Minecraft. (No Gameplay. The teacher will show examples from Minecraft) In this class, a certified teacher and former banker/investment advisor will explain how money began, what an economy is, and how business works in the world, using concepts from Minecraft.
