Using Minecraft to learn about the past
To continue Minecraft’s mission to improve learning through technology, a Minecraft Education Edition package of the experience will be launched by the end of September 2022. This can be used by teachers across the UK as a creative toolkit to help their Key Stage 2 pupils engage with traditional curriculums such as History, Science, and Design and Technology.
'It was magnificent to see the to-scale recreation of Corfe Castle before its destruction in the English Civil War,' said Alice, Historian and Presenter, who gave Grian some historic context as he built Corfe in the game. 'It is my passion as a historian to spread my love of history to a younger audience, and this partnership with Minecraft and the National Trust did exactly that. I look forward to seeing more imaginative creations of Corfe Castle coming from classrooms around the UK.'
Minecraft is PEGI rated 7+.
