Teams
Teams may consist of 3 to 5 students.
This size encourages working together and lets everyone use their different talents.

-
Principal Game Designer
-
Senior Programmer
-
Game Evaluation Specialist
-
Production Manager
-
Lead Presenter
Regulations
-
Use only what is available in the Minecraft Education software to build
your creations. Don't sneak in anything from outside the game. -
Be creative! Make something new and unique. No copying other
games and passing them off as your own. -
Play fair and be nice. If you're inconsiderate or unkind, you may be
removed from the competition.
