Viaja por el mundo en Minecraft Camp: explora la historia mundial (solo edición Java)

Calling young architects and world travellers! Do you want to travel the world in Minecraft? In this five-day class, students will recreate historical structures from around the world. Students will learn about the structure, its country/culture, and its significance while “traveling” worldwide within the digital world of Minecraft. The student will also be building world monuments inside of Minecraft using Creative mode and prepare a presentation to share with classmates. 

Among their travels, students will visit countries such as Egypt, France, Italy, and China. They will research the country and its culture, along with major monuments. For example, a student visiting Italy may choose to research the Colosseum before building it in Minecraft. Another week, a student may visit China by studying the Great Wall and constructing it in Minecraft. For this class, only Minecraft Java Edition (not the Bedrock edition) for PC or Mac is supported. It is not compatible with iPads, tablets, phones, Chromebook, or game consoles. Students must purchase the Java Edition of Minecraft for their personal computers; tablets, Chromebook or consoles will not suffice.
In addition to providing a fun experience students will learn how to:
 
 - Research a country/building’s history to better understand its culture
 - Execute their knowledge through building world monuments in Minecraft
 - Practice preparing and giving presentations on monuments
 - Develop negotiating skills when conflict arises in a group setting and engage in teamwork
 - Give instructions to others and accept feedback from teachers and peers alike
 - Use technology to accomplish goals


Shortly after the end of the class, students will receive their Minecraft map. They can be proud of all the hard work they put into making it.

The teacher will wait up to 15 minutes for students to arrive. If students do not show up within that time and haven’t provided advance notice, the session will not be rescheduled.
