Minecraft Education Edition challenge

Build an Empathy Village!

This year’s winning team came from Kokkola – congratulations to class 8A from Torkinmäen koulu!

Our jury was enchanted by the escape room idea, and it was clear that the entire class had put a lot of time and effort into the final submission. Parents were also nicely included in defining empathy. The end result was a very diverse world of empathy that taught empathy skills through adventure!

Choosing the winner was not easy. All submissions were wonderfully executed and dealt with empathy in many different ways, for example through monsters and rainbow metaphors. It became clear that you really care about empathy skills!

Game on!
