Remote Minecraft

Remote Minecraft will allow participants to access AU's Minecraft world from the comfort of their own home and instantly connect with friends all over the community. The class engages in building challenges that encourage creativity and critical thinking. Participants are given tasks to construct structures, solve puzzles, or design landscapes within the Minecraft environment. Skills and strategies for turn-taking, working collaboratively, and social problem solving will be targeted through team projects, missions, and goals. The virtual classroom serves as a dynamic space for collaborative learning and imaginative endeavors. To provide additional social opportunities, participants will be offered to utilize Zoom throughout Remote Minecraft classes. Zoom allows participants to talk with each other verbally instead of messaging in the actual game!
