MINECRAFT IN THE CLASSROOM?

Elementary students at Hope Rural School were introduced to Design Thinking through a unique method: MINECRAFT!

Their objective was to come up with ideas for solving homelessness.

According to Idea Lab’s Evie Price (8th Grade | St. Vincent Ferrer), there are 5 steps the Hope Rural Elementary students followed.

5 Steps to Design Thinking

1 – Empathy | Figuring out the user.

2 – Define the Problem | Identify the problem.

3 – Brainstorming | Come up with ideas to resolve the issue.

4 – Prototype | Draw out solutions and designing it in Minecraft.

5 – Test Project | Presented ideas to the class for feedback.

Idea Lab students hope to continue using Minecraft for other Design Thinking lessons!
