I had a lot of fun this month working with the new crew at the
Andover Help Desk. Since the new Intern, Zachary, came in to provide a helping
hand to Mr. Downs, things have been able to progress a lot more smoothly. The
calls for help by teachers were decreasing this month, which is understandable
due to the upcoming vacation. I started working on a few projects this month,
teaching Mr. Downs Minecraft (he failed at it), making videos that explain why
Minecraft is a good teaching tool, and brainstorming down ideas for my final project,
which is going to be about developing a Minecraft mod, how much time it takes, and
tutorials of a few codes that can help along the way. I think my project will
inspire people to use Minecraft as a unique method of understanding design like
it did for me.
My projects are mainly focused on Minecraft as I believe Minecraft
gives people the potential to do anything. Minecraft has inspired people to learn
about animations, coding, music, and even starting a business. Minecraft is not
just a game but a huge learning tool for anyone with the passion to further
their goals. Minecraft has changed many lives, including mine. I would've never
known how to code or animate if I hadn't played Minecraft.
