Why are we using Minecraft?
MinecraftEDU in the STEAM lab can help you learn about the design and construction of various structures that can be found all over the world.
Guidelines for using Minecraft in the STEAM Lab
Use your class time wisely. Focus your time on completing your SMART Goal.
You must stay on your own land when you build. Do not go to others' structures.
You may use more than one computer to build if there are open computers in the STEAM Lab.
Building Suggestions

Research red stone. Use the tutorial link below to help you understand how to create a working machine.
