Description
Minecraft is an endlessly creative game, but did you know it can inspire creativity in the real world, too? This neat lab-type experiment book mixes in-game crafting and building projects with real-life experiments and construction. On the Minecraft side, the activities start simple as kids learn the basics of exploring, crafting, and building simple traps. In the real world, kids embark on “quests" to bake cookies, construct simple circuits, and even build a Chinese finger-trap. As the book progresses, kids embark on even grander projects, such as visiting a “cultural event" in real-life and then creating their own culture in Minecraft. Each project in and out of the game includes step-by-step instructions, pictures, and even some handy facts.
Publisher's Description of Unofficial Minecraft Lab for Kids
Balancing your child's screen time can be difficult, especially when it comes to wildly popular, open-ended video games like Minecraft. Minecraft offers players an environment focused on exploration, imagination, and creation, but its nonlinear game structure can mean spending a lot of time in the game.
You will start the book by brushing up on some common Minecraft language and examining each of the four game modes: survival, creative, adventure, and spectator. Then, you'll use this knowledge to venture off onto the six different quests that encourage child and adult participation.
These "gamified" labs will allow your child to earn stickers and badges as rewards as they complete quests. You'll even learn how to screencast and narrate your own videos to share with family and friends! The Unofficial Minecraft Lab for Kids provides a fun, educational gaming goals that you and your child can reach together!
