How Minecraft can help teach coding and robotics

South African university study investigates using Minecraft to teach coding and robotics

A Stellenbosch University (SU) study by Michael Vorster, a Cape Town-based teacher, showed how Minecraft can enhance students' coding and robotics learning experiences at school.

The study centred on how Minecraft: Education Edition and the Agent, its virtual assistant (“bot”), can be implemented into a classroom environment to support the teaching of coding and robotics.

Well they may be able to separate the real nerds from the pretenders at least. And I mean that in the best way possible.

(I skipped it to the results, but there's a lot before that, very technical)
I respect this. Though this type of thing it made me acknowledge the limits of my own nerdiness.
