Australia's first ever school based Minecraft Edu PVP Esports Competition

WHY MINECRAFT?

Whilst Minecraft is one of the most widely known and used games in the world, it takes up a very small footprint in the esports industry.

Popular amongst younger students, Minecraft has a wide range of game modes; from survival (virtually ‘living off the land’ to survive) through to creative (creating and exploring virtual worlds like Lego cities).

Minecraft Education Edition is used in the curriculum to visualise learning experiences differently. Using Minecraft, students can visit the International Space Station, learn about history, mathematics, chemistry, art and design.

Therefore, Minecraft is already in schools, just not in an esports context ... until now.
