Explaining what a corporation is, what is a company?, using Minecraft. (No Gameplay. The teacher will show examples from Minecraft) In this class, a certified teacher and former banker/investment advisor will explain the following topics: what is a company, what is a corporation, what are shareholders, what is profit, what is income, what are expenses, how do corporations operate? Using concepts from Minecraft, we will discuss how corporations make things and then sell things to consumers just as Minecraft players mine, build and trade with others. Minecraft is a great game to teach the basics of money, trade, the economy, and business. This class does not involve any game playing of Minecraft. The teacher's Minecraft world may be used at times to illustrate concepts to the students. Again there is no game playing by the students.
Learning Goals
Students will improve their understanding of these key concepts: What is a corporation? What is a company? What is income? What are expenses? What is profit? What are shareholders?
