Earth Day is almost here! To celebrate, we’ve released an all-new Sustainability City lesson to explore the world of recycling and waste management. Radical Recycling takes students through a bustling urban environment to seek out reusable materials, then into a recycling center to learn about sustainable waste management. They’ll even get to dream up their own creations using only recycled materials!

Looking for support with your Earth Day activities? All week, students and teachers can join the Cobblestone Collective for a series of virtual, co-taught lessons in our Sustainability City world. On April 22, the Minecraft: Education Edition team is also hosting a live lesson featuring a brand-new world, Earth City 2030. Register now and bring your students to these free virtual events!

Enter the world of Minecraft: The Mountain, the follow-up to Max Brooks’ New York Times bestselling novel, Minecraft: The Island. In this thrilling adventure map, five new lessons take students from a desolate shore to a secret mountain base, and even into the Nether!

STORY TIME CODING

Enter a fairy-tale world where computer science and creative writing collide! Story Time Coding immerses students in three classic fairy tales where they’ll use computer science to progress through the narratives. Learners then have the chance to change the stories and make their creative ideas a reality using code.
