Whether you plan to use Tinkercad, SketchUp, Minecraft, Minecraft Edu or the version available on Raspberry Pi, we have helpful ‘How to’ guides to get you started.

These printable guides will show you how to download and install software  and set up simple networked experiences so that learners can build and play together. Once you’ve done that and are ready to go, our guides will tell you what buttons to press, how to build and design simple structures and how to save buildings and submit your work to us.

If you prefer to be shown what to do, then we have tutorial videos, which talk you through how to start building using this software.

Let us know which buildings or landmarks your class intend on building by emailing builditscotland@bbc.co.uk   We’d love to see how your projects progress so send us photos of your class or group hard at work and we’ll publish them here on our Glow blog.
