Time Travel: Industrial Revolution to Year 4020

Beginner

In this action filled building adventure, children will use the virtual world of Minecraft as they learn and apply civil, environmental and sustainable engineering practices to their virtual building projects. Students will time travel to the industrial age, modern age, and future as they learn about stable and strong structures through the ages. They will learn about sustainability in cities and discuss how water, waste, transportation, and energy/electricity worked in our past cities as well as our current cities. Then children will turn the time to the future and apply what they learned from the cities of the past and modern times to design a city of the future! Projects include Train Transportation, Air Pollution Factories, Urban Design for Modern Cities, Year 4020, and more.
