Student Alamo project made with Minecraft

I just watched a video that really blew me away.  It’s from ‘Luclin’, a well-known Minecraft Youtube’r.  Luclin’s son Ethan created an amazing scale replica of the Alamo using Minecraft and submitted it for a school history project.  The level of detail is remarkable.  And to hear Ethan walk us through his creation is delightful.  It’s clear that he has a really strong grasp of the history behind his creation.  My favorite part is when it starts to rain and Ethan exclaims: “This is exactly what happened during the Battle of the Alamo, it rained!”

The video is a great example of what kids are able to do with Minecraft and what educational value can be derived.  And kudos to Ethan’s teacher for being open-minded enough to accept a Minecraft creation in lieu of a traditional history project.
