Thank you for supporting our students!

had an amazing time visiting Mrs. Justin’s 4th, 5th, and 6th grade Media classes at John F. Turner Elementary! Students participated in a Minecraft Education Book Challenge that combined reading, creativity, design, and technology in incredible ways.

Brevard Ed Tech introduced the challenge, and the students truly ran with it! Over the past few weeks, students designed detailed book covers inspired by books they read this year. Once their covers were complete, they took their projects even further by creating scenes from the books, character designs, and setting vignettes inside Minecraft Education.

The creativity, attention to detail, and hard work these students demonstrated was outstanding. Their projects brought literature to life in such imaginative ways, and we are so proud of what they accomplished!

Andersen Elementary School 5th graders took on the same challenge as the 6th grade did and designed attachments to capture “meteors” on the moon! They used Sphero RVR robots and Blueprint kits on the Aldrin Family Foundation moon maps!

6th graders at Andersen Elementary School used collaboration and problem solving skills to design an attachment to catch “meteors.” Students coded Sphero RVRs to drive across the Aldrin Family Foundation moon map and defend the moon base. was impressed with the unique and creative designs!
