Making Changes for Careers - Minecraft Awards – Hull City of Culture Edition

Working with Primary TEC as part of the Hull City of Culture initiative and as a way of getting more young people engaged in ICT, PrimaryTec has challenged several Hull and East Riding schools to recreate some of the city’s landmarks using Minecraft as the platform. The schools have already received their randomly drawn landmark and 10 pupils from each school have been tasked with the research and creation of one of Hull’s most popular places. Queens Gardens, Guildhall and the KCOM Stadium are just some of the landmarks on the list, but students will have to draw upon all their geographical, historical and mathematical skills, apply them to ICT, to create lifelike representations of their landmark.

PrimaryTec will be visiting each school during November to check on their progress and offer additional support. However, students are being encouraged to use various software and sharing platforms as a way of showcasing their progress with other schools. On December 1st  PrimaryTec will be holding an awards event in conjunction with the John Cracknell Youth Enterprise Bank showcasing, Hull City of Culture in Minecraft and presenting awards to those involved. PrimaryTec are working alongside the John Cracknell Youth Enterprise Bank who have kindly sponsored the project. Representatives from both organisations have attended sessions so far, and are looking forward to seeing the finished version in December.
