This spring, 5th graders across our district took on the 3rd Annual Minecraft Inclusive Schools Challenge by designing inclusive spaces for their future middle schools. Their creative solutions were voted on by the very schools they’ll attend next year!
The winning teams earned a special field trip to the Minecraft Inclusive Tech Lab, where inclusive design comes to life. Students explored real-world accessibility innovations, participated in an adaptive toy workshop with UW's Husky Adapt, and even presented their projects to Minecraft developers themselves!
These young changemakers are showing us what it means to build a better world - block by block!
