Description:

A Minecraft City Comes to Life!

Join our community as we build and govern a world-class Minecraft city, complete with everything needed for incoming residents! Build, budget and furnish your own house. Plan a marketing campaign as you build your own business. Serve on the city council and vote to shape the city’s future as you help create a constitution of laws for your citizens. Our Right Brain Curriculum teachers will guide you through – demonstrating how math, economics and community-building are key to a successful, working urban environment. STEM skills have never been so much fun!

Extra! Extra! Read all about it!

Our classroom will become a working newsroom as we write and publish a class newspaper! Don’t like that new school lunch they’re serving? Express your feelings on the editorial page. Going to the school soccer game? Bring your camera and reporter’s notebook and become a beat reporter for our sports section. Going to the new Frozen sequel? Write a glowing or scathing review. Our Right Brain Curriculum instructors will teach you the craft of journalism, including investigative writing, interviewing, research, and editing. Finally, we’ll show off our completed newspaper to our community of families. The Kids’ Newsroom, it’s hot off the press!
