Fort Minecrafters

Turn your Minecraft gamer into a real-world builder. Fort Minecrafters brings imagination off the screen and into hands-on engineering, where kids design, build, test, and improve structures they can actually stand inside.

Campers building a walk-in fort out of full-size cardboard boxes

What to expect

  • Build large structures out of cardboard that vary in size and function
  • Learn about Makerspace tools like 3D printers, CNC machines, and laser cutters and assemble their own Minecraft tools like armor, helmets, and their own cardboard pickaxe
  • See themselves as capable builders, problem-solvers, and crafters
  • Demonstrate increasing confidence with hand tools and fabrication technologies
  • Apply design thinking strategies to identify problems and develop solutions
  • Bring ideas to life through creative design and imaginative storytelling
