[Recorded March 23, 2022] Join CHM Director of Education Kate McGregor to explore and discuss “The Great Tech Story,” the Computer History Museum’s new world in Minecraft: Education Edition. The Great Tech Story will inspire and empower your students, ages 8-18, to become informed technology citizens. This workshop will support educators to facilitate rich learning opportunities for their students. Educators will hear tips and suggestions for student engagement and have the opportunity to learn more about the world and discuss teaching approaches and learning outcomes with others, including guiding and supporting students to complete the end-of-game build challenge. Within the Minecraft: Education Edition World, students will navigate a virtual museum exhibit and engage with computing artifacts like a 2000-year-old scientific calculator, the Apollo lunar lander, and a self-driving car. They’ll meet historic figures and computing pioneers as well as a diverse group of tech users, engineers, and young entrepreneurs. And, students will teleport to learning experiences on concepts in hardware and software, innovation, ethics in tech, and technology in daily life.
