Minecraft in entrepreneurship classes

We held a pre-Christmas lesson on entrepreneurship with 8th-grade students from the 'Al. S. Pushkin' - city of Varna on December 22, 2021. This was the pilot testing of our approach that learning can be fun, engaging, and with a long-term effect if games and game situations are used. Minecraft is one of the most popular games among students and it is certainly the game that has the widest functionalities for learning various subjects. Minecraft is part of Microsoft's investment and strategy for the digitization of education. The educational version of Minecraft is available to all students and teachers in Bulgaria with their @edu.mon.bg accounts.

The students of Mrs. Ralitsa Novoselska from Varna had the task of coming up with as many business ideas as possible related to Minecraft. They had to apply what they learned from Topic 5 'Creative methods and techniques for identifying opportunities and creating business ideas' from the 'Entrepreneurship' textbook of Prof. Tsvetan Davidkov, which they study at the Varna school. During class, they presented and discussed their ideas with the Interactive Study team. Both they and we study 'E-commerce'.
