“Minecraft is a giant platform of adventure and quest. It is a space for strategic, prioritized and executive thinking. It is an area to create, connect and collaborate. Throw in the freedom to fail, an ability to set goals and the opportunity to take risks. Mix them all together and you get a pretty epic environment for learning.”
Our Story
At Campbell Elementary, 650+ K-5 students are using Minecraft to learn, create and share what they are doing. We have solved math problems, created digital dioramas, built research projects and have taken field trips to explore ancient and historical worlds.
Kids have mapped our solar system, built renditions of the Orphan Train, The Great Wall of China and the Taj Mahal. We have made pixel art, programmed roller coasters, and even built an entire town of Campbell with 500+ buildings.
We like exploring and learning through Minecraft. Below are a few highlights (videos and pictures) of what we are busying learning about in our classroom and how we're using Minecraft to shape our understanding of the ever-changing world we live in.
Hundreds of students use MinecraftEdu to create a Thank you for Code.org and for their $10,000 donation to Campbell Elementary School!
