GeoCraft is an innovative project working in schools to increase pupils’ knowledge and understanding of the environment.

Pupils work through a number of environmental challenges using worlds built in Minecraft Edu and other resources. They then apply their knowledge and understanding to their school, helping it to become more environmentally friendly.

The Minecraft worlds utilise Ordnance Survey maps to build real life representations of geographical areas and the project was awarded start-up funding from the Ordnance Survey 2013 Geovation awards.

I am making an iPad Minecraft game with Tullie House that explores wetlands in Cumbria and beyond - it will be used with school and educational groups who visit the Museum and gallery.

Wilbury Primary school ask me to help them set up MinecraftEdu and give the staff and students some training to help them use Minecrtaft throughout the curruclam. Its a great school with great teachers who are really excited to use new technology to enhance and explore teaching and learning.

I had the opportunity to get involved in the Tullie House Art GalleryTakeover/Museums At Night project after I talked with the team about Minecraft and how it can be used to create engaging heritage and historical narratives. Excited by the possibilities this opened up, I was invited to work with the project team to create the event. Together, we set about filling the gallery space in a way that had never happened before.

Using six massive interactive projections from the video game Minecraft featuring my topographical Cumbrian landscape, including a partially constructed Hadrian’s Wall, we gave people the opportunity to visit an online Minecraft world and play live with other people from around the world.
