In this workshop, you will explore two different MinecraftEDU worlds that include math and CS/physics concepts.  One world requires students to navigate to different locations in the world using coordinates to gather materials to collectively build a village.  The other world teaches students how to use Redstone to complete basic tasks that enhance their houses.  Both worlds include tutorials and NPCs that help students learn the skills they need to complete different challenges.  The workshop will highlight the features of MinecraftEDU and we will go through the creation of a new world.  For those interested, instruction on the development of NPCs will also be offered.
