We have designed this project for the 4rd ESO students
who are attending to Technology subject. This will be an interesting and
motivating project, very practical and will relate to maths, science, and
engineering. Moreover, our aim is to apply the Multiple Intelligences Theory (Gardner)
in order to carry out a project with a group of students with different
abilities. So each of them will be responsible for one task that makes him feel
comfortable.
At the end of the project we will have a virtual school
mockup in Minecraft world that we will share with the school community. To do
that, students will measure the school buildings, take photos, draft it on paper
and finally re-create it in Minecraft. So, everyone will be able to visit our
school and even propose engineering improvements related to mobility, green
spaces, occupation, and room distribution.
OBJECTIVES
* Students will be able to use measurements and ratios to recreate an actual
building in Minecraft.
* Students will demonstrate a working knowledge of building to scale and
proper proportions in engineering concepts.
* Students will apply visualizing comprehension to illustrate their
understanding.
* Students will demonstrate collaborative skills and teamwork in compiling
data and information to complete the task.
