Minecraft for history and culture

This video is about a popular game called Minecraft. Students are going to be making a virtual version of Bent's old fort inside the game. Immersive Education and Stanford will be sponsoring it and helping the students create this historic building. They are using this ancient building and using modern day technology to recreate it.

This is great for immersive education because it shows that students can learn from virtual environments. Not only are they using a video game to recreate a historic trading post, but they are also learning architecture. This is a huge step for virtual learning.

This is an assignment from the Immersive Education course that I am taking at Boston College. The course is called Discovering Computer Graphics. For details, visit the immersive BC portal at http://ImmersiveEducation.org/@/bc
