Travelling through History with Minecraft Workshop

TA Education

School Workshop

trip icon Minecraft is an incredibly adaptable world that we cater for a wide variety of enrichments.

With the Creative Writing workshop, we can adapt this to the needs of your class, either by adapting the theme or changing the focus of the method of the session.

All workshops booked will have a prep-call with one of our delivery staff to ensure the workshop fits the needs of your school. This is a requirement for the booking to go ahead.

The work will last 2 hours and can be repeated twice in 1 day with a class of 30(approx.) students.

We can bring in our own devices or use your IT suite if requested.
