https://go.niu.edu/STEAMCampsBuild an epic Minecraft world, create stories that take place in it, and share them in your own amazing Minecraft movie!
This camp combines the best of technology and the arts as you tell your own stories through the game of Minecraft. You’ll build and create in Minecraft’s digital world and then develop a short fiction story based in the world you create. Collaborate with other campers as you learn the basics of Minecraft, writing and voiceover recording.
In this camp, you’ll:
- Complete a large-scale structure in Minecraft based around your story.
- Create a short voiceover recording explaining the structure and story.
- Engage in free-build and free-write sessions where you write, create and get to know your fellow campers.
- Create a 2-4-minute movie using Minecraft, creative writing, and film and audio editing.
At the end of camp, we’ll compile all the structures into one epic Minecraft world so campers can check out one another’s structures and stories.
For students entering grades 6-9.
