3D printing and Minecraft

This week the class had two sessions with Mr Matt to learn how to use the 3D printer and to use marketplace mine-craft that Mr Matt has created.


The class was excited to learn how the 3D printer worked and to work through the tutorials to help create using in the programme.

 They were also put into small groups and were set the challenge by Mr Matt to build a farm in his virtual marketplace he has created in mine-craft. Each group were given 10 coins between them and they had to buy seeds, plant them and then sell them in the marketplace to make more money so they can build up their farm supply.
The conversations happening in the groups was exciting to hear. The children had to work together and set tasks for each other to do while building up their livelihoods while still maintaining their health.






I think Mr Matt enjoyed his role as Minecraft teacher.
