Description

Minecraft: Education Edition is a learning game that helps students explore different subjects in a fun way. It lets kids build and create while learning about math, science, history, and coding. Teachers can use special tools to guide students through lessons or let them explore on their own. Students can work together to build projects, solve puzzles, and share ideas.
