Course Description
In this course, you will be learning about Christian boys and girls who made history, but with a cubic twist. We will be in the world of Minecraft building, reenacting, and reading the books “Ten Boys Who Changed The World” and “Ten Girls Who Changed The World”. You need to know at LEAST the basics of PC Minecraft 1.11.2 in order to enroll in this fun course run by Joshua and Jack Thorson!
Workload for each week will consist of reading a short story (9-10 pages) on your own, & then completing a “build project”. During class, we will pray together, talk about life application, & then explore each other’s creations! We will spend about 45 minutes together playing, during class.
We will be utilizing a family-friendly Minecraft server with chat filters & parent moderators. Our desire is to make learning history AND Christian values FUN, while playing a game your kids already love playing! Joshua & Jack are very skilled in Minecraft, and are excited to share their skills with new friends, as they learn & play together.
