PROGRAM OVERVIEW:
Get a jumpstart and experience a week as a Minecraft architect who combines the basics of architecture and business to create a successful real estate firm! In this camp you’ll turn your architectural designs into a major success as you build and sell your creations for profit. Like all Connected Camps programs, this class offers a project-based, exploratory classroom environment that sits at the intersection of learning and playing. After all, kids learn the most when they're having fun!

So how does this camp work? It’s simple! You’ll start the week with a small pool of money and as you complete contracts, your funds will grow and you’ll get access to more materials, new clients, and bigger projects. 

Over the course of the week, you will:

⁠— Learn basic economics, different architectural styles, and how to zone for construction.
⁠— Think like an entrepreneur and design projects based on clients’ needs.
⁠— Combine different materials, colors, and shapes to create realistic buildings.
⁠— Collaborate with others and use teamwork to achieve greater profits.

At the start of this camp, we’ll familiarize you with some of the basics of economics and business. You’ll get to apply these concepts as you buy plots of land, create buildings, and then sell the land back to clients. The money you are rewarded for each project will depend on your creativity and design. You can then use the money you earn to buy deluxe materials, obtain new clients, and create fancier buildings.

By the end, it’s your brilliant designs and business sense that will make you the most successful entrepreneur in the camp! 

PARENTS: 
This is a camp that combines the career aspects of an architect with business decisions and building design. With an emphasis on real-life application, your child will not only learn about different architectural styles but also the trade of a professional architect. As they set and meet their goals, your child will also learn the key elements of project management which translates well into any future play or work.

This is a 5-session camp that lasts a week. We balance group discussion time with plenty of hands-on experience with other students. This way, students can cement what they’re learning and fully explore the topics they're interested in. By combining Minecraft with education, your child will be able to engage their passions as they have fun in a positive, interest-driven environment. Please note that we will be asking for your camper's in-game username so that we can add them to our server's safelist.
