'Minecraft' offers free educational content

Minecraft

One big challenge posed by the COVID-19 pandemic is helping children with their schoolwork as over half a billion students are out of school. Minecraft is offering some of its "favorite lessons" from the Education Edition for free. There is a new Education category over at the game's Marketplace, allowing kids to explore the International Space Station or even the inside of the human eye. Minecraft also included 10 worlds from its Marketplace creator community. The free content will be available until June 30. Anyone with Minecraft for Bedrock platforms can find these worlds by launching the game and visiting the in-game store.
