Students finally got to live out their dream project - building something in Minecraft for school (couldn't believe I allowed this!). The students had 2 weeks to build their own world, could not use an existing structure. The structure had to have at least 10 rooms. For the students without minecraft, they were able to use SketchUp to create a house with 10 rooms.

Kits were delivered to the Architecture students to create their own house within a designated footprint. The project took about two weeks.
