Save the planet in Minecraft! We use Minecraft, a game familiar to hundreds of millions, as a learning environment where students work together to explore and learn about their environmental impact. Teachers can use our collaborative experience to instruct their students digitally, augmenting their instruction with our simple, modular lesson plans, and interactive Minecraft Education experience. Students can explore our virtual village, Tree Town, and work together to save the village from climate change, all the while learning about environmental issues and developing critical thinking skills. Saving Tree Town will help kids develop the skills necessary to save the planet.
