Come join Ms. Crystal for another successful round of Minecraft Club!
Together, we will explore the ever-popular world of Minecraft through various avenues and activities. We’ll utilize perler beads, papercrafts, Quixels, and much more. Students are welcome, but not required, to bring an electronic device pre-loaded with Minecraft.
Participants will learn building basics via gameplay. Minecraft teaches students practical math skills, engineering concepts, collaboration with others, and conflict resolution. This club is a safe and fun way to learn Minecraft basics and to also allow those already planning to build on their skills.
