Practical, educational and playful learning in the world of Minecraft!
Our aim is to use gamification to develop the students’ safety awareness, environmental awareness and algorithmic thinking, using our upgraded Minecraft Java Edition software. We want to achieve knowledge transfer through playful and interactive methods to encourage active learning and collaboration.
Our programmes for the public education sector can also play a key role in the career choices of future generations, and we believe it is important to bring them as close as possible to the simplified forms of disciplines that can be studied in higher education, so that they can start to form their ideas in time and can easily use the inter- and multidisciplinary approach in STEM-oriented higher education.
Our upcoming summer camps with Minecraft and lab activities:
- Military Security and Asset Protection
- Fundamentals of Programming
- Developing an island with green energy
