Children’s competition uses Minecraft game to design new area of land behind the National Museum <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A NEW scheme is inviting children in Cardiff to use Minecraft to redesign an area of the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Craft Your City<\/em> programme is a Child Friendly Cardiff <\/a>initiative which aims to involve children in the decision making of their city. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Launched last week, the competition will involve school-aged children submitting their design for an area of land behind the National Museum via the Minecraft game. Children can work alone on their idea or in a group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Minecraft Education<\/a> is the learning platform of the Minecraft computer game. It provides lessons and resources for children to collaborate with their classmates on design projects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Children can learn skills such as problem-solving, collaboration, communication, and critical thinking. Students also have the opportunity to learn code through the scheme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
