Guiding Ideas

How do Olympic Organizers engineer the athletic facilities needed during the Winter Olympics?

Can students collaboratively depict and arrange Olympic Status facilities in Minecraft?

Optional: Can students create their own novel competitions for a variation of this project called "The Minecraft Education Edition Winter Olympics"

How does the geography of South Korea compare to the geography of this Minecraft world?

Student Activities

Students will co-construct with their teacher the essential facilities needed for a Winter Olympics following brief research.

Students will form teams and begin (in creative mode) building these facilities.

Students will reflect via journals and camera pictures on the mass organization efforts needed to create the Winter Olympic atmosphere in real life drawing on their Minecraft imitation.

Optional: Students will design and construct unique Minecraft Winter Olympic challenges to replace real world events.
