How much time will this take?

Educators/Group Leaders

We've designed MindRising to allow you to get involved based on your capacity.

"I can only spare a couple of hours"

No effort - use MindRising video's to enliven a lesson (videos coming soon) with Minecraft-based learning curriculum content

Less than 1 hour - use our curriculum aligned lesson plans to teach a historical topic

2-3 hours - build a minimum viable entry (the smallest competition entry you could possibly imagine),you do everything in a frenetic 3 hours sprint

"I can only spend a day or two on this"

Spread the effort over 1-2 weeks working following one of the story paths - discovering, storytelling & learning

"I want to enter the competition"

Option 1: Follow the self-paced design-thinking based program over the 8 weeks of the competition this will get you ready to submit your entry

Option 2: Download the design-thinking based program and use it at your own speed (either blitz it or take your time) it's up to you

REMEMBER: MindRising is meant to be a fun learning experience!
