Virtual Builders: Minecraft Club

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

This regular 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. 

Saturday 11th July –  Happy Birthday USA!

This year, the United States is celebrating its 250th anniversary of independence! We’ll be marking the semiquincentennial with a special American edition of Virtual Builders. We’ll explore everything from iconic landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty, to the USA’s vast range of architectural influences – from indigenous Pueblo architecture to modern skyscrapers. Creature your own build to mark the occasion!
