Dundee students design city waterfront using Minecraft
5 June 2015
Dundee school students have created their plans for the future of the city's waterfront through the medium of Minecraft.
Primary pupils have spent several months using the popular video game to design plans for the area, which is currently going through a PS1bn regeneration.
The project was managed by Dundee City Council and the University of Dundee.
The plans were evaluated by the style of the design, as well as support for tourism, education and job creation.
In addition to the Minecraft Youth Camp involving primary 6 and 7 students from across the city Students from nine secondary schools have been taking part in similar Minecraft Youth Camp, funded by the university and TAYplan.
Students worked in groups with Playstation and XBox consoles. They were connected to whiteboards in classrooms and used them to reimagine and develop their ideas of the city's waterfront.
'Hugely enthusiastic'
Derek Robertson of Dundee University's school of education said the game was a "huge phenomenon" that engaged children.

He added that "We must understand the digital spaces that children use and how they impact their learning."
"Games and applications such as these can be a fantastic way to engage children in subjects like design and the environment.
"The children who have been working over the last months have been extremely enthusiastic and have produced amazing work. Some of it could be a challenge for the city planners, but that's the great thing about Minecraft that they can make anything."
Mr Robertson was recently invited along with 49 other teachers from around the globe to participate in an Minecraft Educators Summit in Los Angeles to discuss how Minecraft can be best utilized in both formal and informal learning.
