Learning with Minecraft

This popular game, characterized by its blocky universe, has long been a favorite among children. More and more parent-educators are seeing it as a learning space, taking into account the many possibilities offered by the educational version of the game.

There is no shortage of ideas when it comes to using the game and its derivatives: rebuild a historical place and make links with history, write a story based on the game, read one of the many books related to the universe, take part in a challenge with others, even learn to code. While kids “play”, they are learning math concepts (esp. multiplication and geometry), engineering, chemistry, Earth sciences (all those kinds of rocks!), architecture, geography and vocabulary. The possibilities are endless!
