STEM MINECRAFT COMPETITION

A team of 8 Primary 7 pupils from the class of 2020 entered a CEA STEM competition to celebrate the launch of Minecraft Education in Schools. The pupils were given the challenge of creating a Viking world from scratch using 1m³ blocks.

The team consisting of Alice Cardwell, Molly McKenna, Raiana Li, Owen Magee Smyth, Lewis Dobbin, Rokas Paulauskas, Ryan Knapper and Troy McLaughlin, constructed an outstanding replica of a Viking village and Irish monastery.

Out of the 51 schools that registered, Antrim Primary were awarded second place and received the silver award. The judges described the entry as ‘fabulous’. To see the outstanding Viking village, the team created, check the ‘Pupils’ section of the school website.
