Cleverlike Build Challenges
Discover Build Challenges, the perfect asynchronous, project-based entry point into scholastic esports for elementary, middle school, or any group new to competition.
This is the perfect entry point into the world of scholastic esports, designed for elementary and middle school students, or any group new to Minecraft competition. Build Challenges are asynchronous, project-based activities where students receive a themed prompt (e.g., "Sustainable Cities," "Recreate a Historical Event") and use their creativity and research skills to construct a model in Minecraft. The flexible format makes it easy to integrate into any classroom schedule as a powerful tool for project-based learning and assessment.
