A nod from a top science magazine to the game many parents wish their kids had never heard of should catch the attention of teachers. In case you must ‘sell’ this idea to your administration, here are three great reasons why students should use Minecraft in school: Reading, Writing, and Problem Solving.

Figuring out more and more science. And painstakingly laying out page after page of what on May 14, 2002, would be published as A New Kind of Science. I’ve written before (even in the book itself ) about the intellectual journey involved in the creation of A New Kind of Science. Developing new kinds of computational diagrams.

An elaborate description of a wild idea. In the forty years I knew Ed Fredkin I heard countless wild ideas and colorful stories from him. But it also led him to the idea that the universe must be a giant cellular automaton—whose program he could invent. A long and colorful story. I’d politely ask for details.

All in all, it’s a fascinating story, that both explains what’s been believed about thermodynamics, and provides some powerful examples of the complicated dynamics of the development and acceptance of ideas. It’s exciting now, of course, to be able to use the latest 21st-century ideas to take another step.

Summer Maker Education Camp Project. Cardboard Creations Maker Education Camp utilized no technology (except for projecting images of example projects on the whiteboard) and low/no cost materials. Let me be really clear, making is not simply 3D printing, Art Lino, Raspberry Pi, LEDs, robots, laser and vinyl cutters.
