🎁 Promo code STEAMgift10 will gift you $10 off this academic infused, fun, hands-on, interactive, STEAM course where we experiment using Minecraft Chemistry, following step-by-step projects to build elements, create compounds and brand-new items, plus observe exciting chemical reactions, all within their own Minecraft world. Compatible with any device with Minecraft Bedrock or Education Edition (not Java Edition). Learners can share their creations, exchange ideas, and celebrate each other’s work in a supportive peer environment. Collaboration is encouraged and not required. Sessions are inclusive, affirming, and incorporate Social Emotional Learning (SEL) supports, ensuring every learner feels valued and included.

The course projects work for Bedrock and Education Edition across PC, mobile, iPad, Switch, and other consoles. All work stays within each learner’s own world, and gamer tags are not shared. A basic understanding of Minecraft is recommended, including how to find elements by name, atomic number, or symbol. While the projects are guided, there's plenty of room for creativity and discovery. Step by step Minecraft Chemistry lessons include the projects listed in the course syllabus, all of which are completed within their Minecraft Bedrock or Education Edition. Projects may be adjusted if needed.

💡Note, I also offer this high-interest course as a self-paced with course title Science Lab Minecraft Chemistry with either weekly pay or all content upfront with separate options for younger ages and teens.
