Beschreibung

Data Explorers is an action-packed learning experience on Minecraft Education, using data skills to protect our planet.

Their mission is to rescue five leading environmental experts who have been kidnapped from earth by an inter-dimensional dragon. 

Hosted on the Minecraft online virtual world, students travel through portals to five different ecosystems: rainforest, grassland, caves, glaciers and desert. In each ecosystem they will meet locals who explain their environmental problems. Together with the locals and the kidnapped expert, thy will solve the problems using data.
