Of course there is a comprehensive lesson plan all written and ready for you to use on the MEE website! All you need to do is download the world and get started. In this activity you are taken through the process of training your agent (your own personal robot within Minecraft) to recognise dry vegetation that will increase the spread of a forest fire, then how to identify and destroy that vegetation to save the village. It’s a brilliant way to generate conversation and beginning to develop a REAL understanding of how these two things exist and are used in ‘the real world’. This year’s Hour of Code Minecraft EE activity is all about machine learning and coding within Minecraft. I thought I’d share a few of the tips that the UTB team often give to teachers that go a long way to helping set up good habits for device/tool use within the classroom.
