Resources
MinecraftEdu is a popular version of the sandbox game that is designed with teachers and students in mind. Come and see how it has been used in the elementary and secondary classroom to teach things from research to biology to writing conventions. Examples will be shared, and we plan to have a live server running so participants can experience group game play.

Participants do not need anything other than what they would normally bring to a session for their own purposes--laptop, phone, etc..

We will have 30 laptops from our district with MinecraftEdu loaded on them, so only 30 participants maximum will be able to play in a MinecraftEdu world when we demo.

More than 30 can attend, but we are limited on devices.
