The Xbox Academy’s Minecraft: Education Edition Build Challenge is designed to engage students in creative thinking, problem-solving and a better understanding of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

This challenge is an opportunity for:

Educators to explore how Minecraft: Education Edition can be used to engage learners through gamification. Learn more here

Learners to collaborate and communicate in an environment that they feel confident and familiar with.

Teams to showcase their learning and understanding of the global challenges we all face and to reflect on their communities to find innovative and creative solutions.
