This year’s AEL Schools Minecraft Build Challenge Series 2 brought students from across Australia together to build extraordinary worlds and innovative designs. The challenge invited participants to explore three unique categories, each testing their creativity, problem-solving skills, and teamwork in building communities that resonate with the themes of Mythic Australia (Years 4-6), Designing for Accessibility (Years 7-9), and The Global Challenge (Years 10-12).
The entries demonstrated not only skill and artistry but also deep thought on how Minecraft can help foster imagination, inclusivity, and a sustainable future.
Each winning team will receive a custom-made trophy from Hench & Scrap, a testament to their hard work and creativity. These remarkable creations will also be showcased on our winners page located at https://ael.org.au/minecraft-results/ – featuring images from each submission including the world files for the top three in each category.
Congratulations to Our Winners!
After much deliberation, our judges have selected the top builds in each category, honouring those who have truly excelled. We are thrilled to recognize the creativity and passion of each student who participated. Congratulations to our winners and everyone who brought their best ideas to this challenge!
