Minecraft Virtual Student Club

Have you dreamed of a world where you can safely interact with your friends and neighbors? Has being in quarantine given you insights into what "community" can mean? Join new friends in MoPOP's Minecraft Virtual Student Club and create your own collaborative community! Working together, you’ll search for and choose a biome, plan how to find and use your resources to keep your community safe, and decide how to trade for goods and enforce community rules. We’ll play in a shared Minecraft: Education Edition survival world, and introduce new challenges and goals each week. 

MoPOP will provide Minecraft: Education Edition accounts for all registered club members to use during the club session.

Grade Range: 4^th-8^th
