Minecraft Mania (Ages 7-12)

MOSI's Minecraft Mania turns the block-building game into a series of missions for children ages 7 to 12, with every build framed as a problem to solve and much of the work done in teams. Groups are small and the instructors know the game, so no prior play is required; children who have never opened Minecraft are welcome next to seasoned builders. It is a drop-off program, so parents leave for the session and return with ID for sign-out at the end. The workshop is part of the museum's Kids STEAM series and recurs through the school year.
