Metrocraft: Design and Govern a Minecraft City!
This program is currently unavailable. Click here to view all of our current programs.
Students learn economics, civics, geometry, and technology as they work together to create a city within a virtual Minecraft-type world. Students design their own house and business and learn how real cities are governed. As they serve on the city council, they study how laws are made while working together to create their own constitution of laws. Students use mathematics and geometry to construct a working urban environment as they serve on a city council that responds to natural disasters and challenging city issues. STEM learning has never been so fun!
Students are welcome to bring a nut free snack and a drink. Laptops will be provided for the students to use.
As set out by the Hopkinton Health department:
Unvaccinated participants must wear a mask at all times. A mask is suggested for all others.
