Minecraft Creations

We had a Minecraft Challenges elective class this semester. Every week the students truly amazed me with their creativity and their building. Their ability to think and create in a 3D setting is unlimited and their cooperation with each can be seen. I would like to thank them for teaching me about Minecraft and teleporting me to the correct location when I would wander too far. I also would like to apologize to them for any holes that I placed in their buildings.

A HUGE Thank You to FU-Xin Wilson-Rupprecht for taking all of these pictures for me and making them available to the students.

The pictures will automatically play or you can scroll through them putting your cursor over the pictures and using the arrows.

An attempt to try and recreate The Birch School in Minecraft.

Pictures of their challenge work.

Some of the challenges were:

a garden sculpture

a maze

a tree house

a TNT cannon

anything Halloween

This was an independent project that was created by a few of the students. IT is called "The Lab"

Here are some miscellaneous pictures.
