Data Explorers is an action-packed learning experience on Minecraft Education, using data skills to protect our planet. Students take on the role of a data-scientist, who also happens to have magical powers.

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.
