We’re excited to share all the ways that Minecraft can prepare students to build a better world through game-based learning. Throughout the conference, you’ll be able to find us at the Microsoft Education booth, where you can connect with Susie Tinker and Maria Olekheynko from the Minecraft: Education Edition team. Drop by and get advice for teaching with Minecraft, how to manage licensing and deployment at your school, or share how you’ve been using Minecraft in your classroom.

We’re also hosting a special stage presentation with educators who’ve seen incredible success teaching with Minecraft. Learn from their experience and imagine what’s possible for your school!
