Suggestion MineCraft FUNdamentals Challenge (We can use the Minecraft Mario character!)



I've been thinking we might create a "MineCraft FUNdamentals" obstacle course where students have to use the basic MC skills to get to the end of a route. We could identify the 10 basic skills we want to test and then the more advanced kids could post their times (might have to have a partner for that or Pepperdine student). The newbies could use the structure to see what skills they still need to master. It would be a win-win. Bragging rights could be re-tested by us just to be sure no one is using mods or extra materials (or extra people!).

We would have to 1) identify the skills 2) provide the materials in some way (hidden on the course) 3) provide accurate instructions - and we could have fun here by layering in some word challenges (or not) that require some internet search about MineCraft. 4) be able to strip the contestants as they enter (a la portal powers)

We could open a forum thread for students to leave hints for others or critique the course (or both). It would be a kinda boot camp experience - but better! **Skills: very basic** Make crafting table Make wooden pickaxe, then stone sword, hoe and pickaxe Make furnace Make large chest (2 together) **Skills: a little more advanced** Use water correctly Harvest wheat for food (or another food source) Use mining skills (finding resources and getting in and out of mines) **Skills: a lot more advanced** Build and use mine carts and rails correctly Use redstone to energize _________ Make armor and fight and kill mobs
