Microsoft and Minecraft have been working with Taronga Conservation Society Australia, Zoos South Australia, Zoos Victoria, Perth Zoo and Auckland Zoo on a Minecraft Education project that aims to bring positive behaviour change from the gaming world into the real world.
This is a ‘built-from-the-ground-up’ experience to promote sustainability and conservation and is aligned to associated teaching standards.
It contains resources, student activities and a unique Minecraft world for educators and students to utilise. Plus, it has many unique Australian/NZ animals designed specifically for this lesson.
After this activity, students will:
Develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills that inspire real-world action. Complementary teaching resources further support educators in guiding students to apply their in-game experiences to meaningful conservation efforts in their own communities.
