2024-25 Minecraft Q2 Challenge:

Storytime: Fable Forge

Quarterly Focus

This quarter's U.N. Sustainable Development Goal is "Goal 4: Quality Education" Read the challenge below, then brainstorm, plan, design, and build your creation in Minecraft.

Education is the key that will allow many other Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to be achieved. When people are able to get quality education they can break from the cycle of poverty.

The STEM Challenge

Open to: BCPS Elementary-Middle-High Students (team challenge)

In this challenge you will choose a favorite scene based on your favorite book or short story you have read and recreate it in Minecraft Edu. You should focus on building elements that capture the essence of the scene, including setting, characters and key events. After building, you will showcase your scene by explaining why you chose that particular scene and how your construction represents the elements of the story.

By building different settings within Minecraft, you will visually and narratively reconstruct the story so that others can engage in the world you found so fascinating. Using creative storytelling and decision-making skills, you can engage your visitors, while you enhance your imaginative capabilities and hone your skills at retelling stories.
