CLASS OVERVIEW:
Embark on an epic journey through World History with the immersive power of Minecraft! 🌟 Together, we’ll tackle some of history’s biggest questions:

    How did we get here?
    Where do we go now?

History shapes who we are, and understanding it is key to navigating our interconnected world.

Each week, we’ll explore a new civilization and time period, recreating pivotal moments in Minecraft. From the birth of agriculture to the rise of the digital age, we’ll uncover how the past connects to the present—all while crafting, building, and having fun! 🌿📜
