Virtual Builders: Minecraft Club

Take part in design and build challenges and meet other gamers at the Farrell Centre’s own Minecraft club. 

This bi-weekly club will explore the potential of Minecraft as a tool to understand Architecture, Design and City Planning. Farrell Centre staff will set Minecraft design and build challenges for participants and offer a space for gamers and their parents to come together and share the worlds they have created. This programme was developed in collaboration with a group of primary school children. 

31st May – Everyday Objects

This week, we will be exploring how everyday objects can serve as inspiration for architects – resulting in fun and creative designs. A bus stop shaped like a cat? A shop shaped like a pineapple? Builders will make their own wacky designs based on an ordinary object.

• Participants must bring their own device to play, with the Minecraft app pre-installed
