Theme Park Mania Minecraft Classes 

This set of after school classes will have students build their very own Minecraft amusement park! Students will have to navigate a number of engineering and teamwork challenges to do so. Students will draft blueprints and plans for their parks on paper before beginning to create it in Minecraft to make it as much like the process of designing a real amusement park as possible.
