Gulf Regional Innovative Teaching Conference - GRITC 2025

Attention all fearless and innovative math and science teachers in upper elementary, middle, and high school! You know who you are—I see you! If you’re ready to ditch the mundane and harness the power of gaming to supercharge student engagement, this session is for you.

Step into the world of Minecraft: Education Edition, where equations come to life, science gets explosive (safely, of course!), and students collaborate, create, and problem-solve in ways that traditional methods just can’t match. In this hands-on session, we’ll explore how to transform your math and science classroom into an immersive, interactive learning environment—one block at a time! Bring your computer (and a controller if you have one), and let’s "play"—I mean, learn! 😉 P.S. Bonus lessons included on using AI to enhance communication, give clear directions, and craft engaging lesson plans that bring Minecraft into your classroom!
