Many of today's students will work in jobs that don't yet exist. Educators are working hard to equip them with the skills to meet this challenge. See how #MinecraftEdu is driving 21st century learning: msft.it/6010TwHxs #21CL

8th grade Ss working smarter rather than harder in Minecraft. They are using their coding skills to create a program to make their agent mine and collect resources for their team. @PlayCraftLearn @johncortazzo #youghsd #youghrocks
