Minecraft teaches kids urban planning

Brighton’s annual digital festival switched on today and runs for a full month.

It offers something for everyone and is quickly becoming a staple of Brighton’s festival calendar.

Meet ups and seminars are on offer for those already in the industry and there are countless ways for newcomers of all ages to get involved.

Now its not just when the festival rolls in that Brighton is thinking digital. In an effort which originally focused on getting kids into urban planning, the use of Minecraft to teach other subjects has become clear to one group of educators.
