The world’s leading platform for game-based learning and creative collaboration.
Minecraft Education transforms the popular open-world game into a powerful educational tool. In our “Capture the Flag” and “Build Challenges,” students don’t just play; they engineer defenses, manage resources, and work as a cohesive unit to solve complex spatial problems in a 3D environment.
Competitive mode is played by the AEL using our own custom Capture the Flag map in 5 v 5 mode with the winning side determined by most flags captured.
Skills:
- Strategic Engineering: Designing fortifications requires understanding geometry, spatial planning, and resource allocation.
- Collaborative Problem Solving: Teams must delegate roles (gatherer, builder, defender) effectively to succeed.
- Digital Citizenship: Students practice respectful interaction and shared responsibility in a persistent digital world.
System Requirements
- PC: Windows 10/11, Mac, Chromebook, or iPad (see here for detailed specifications)
- License: Requires a valid Minecraft Education license (often included in Microsoft 365 A3/A5 school packages).
- Network: School Firewall must whitelist
*.minecraft-services.net.
