NMS LIVE build

Last week we held a pop up event in the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh. We were there alongside the brilliant Build It exhibition where Warren Elsmore is making all kinds of cool stuff in LEGO.

We added a bit of digital charm and built a very special Edinburgh landmark in Minecraft and Tinkercad with Nethercurrie and Pentland Primary Schools and a few other lovely folk who dropped by to see what was happening (that means YOU Royston Primary!)

Look out for more events between now and the end of the project in October. We have some exciting plans and are keen to get as many people involved as possible.

Hopefully see you soon!

We’ve added a new Minecraft ‘How to’ video to our website.

It outlines the essentials for getting started in Minecraft- from which buttons to press to move around, through to how to start a basic build.

Have a look and then use our specially developed Minecraft PDF guides to help you set things up in class.

Have fun!

‘How to’ guides available NOW

Leave a comment

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.
