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 informational session, we’ll explore how to transform your math and science classroom into an immersive, interactive learning environment—one block at a time!

This is an informative session all about how you can use Minecraft in the classroom. We'll shoot the breeze about tons of cool stuff like how to actually use it, where to kick things off, and even how to incorporate it into different subjects. After our chat, you can jump right in and give it a go yourself in our hands-on "Minecraft Learning Lab" session. Make sure to sign up for that too! Who's stoked to learn and play with Minecraft together? Let's do this thing! 🎮✨

😉 P.S. Bonus lesson included on using AI to enhance communication, give clear directions, and craft engaging lesson plans that bring Minecraft into your classroom! Disclaimer: This description was "spiced up" with AI)
