  The ability to create and navigate in a virtual world requires real-life problem solving and inquiry-learning, while keeping students engaged and interested. Minecraft would be a great tool in STEM classes, as the engineering aspect of the simulator works on skills in design, collaboration, and systems thinking. Makers of the game argue its relevance in social learning and cultivating 21st century skills, with an emphasis on communication, collaboration, and creativity. This tool could be used as a great team-building project for co-learning and group work, as students can create and think critically together, in order to sustain a "real world" with practical obstacles in economics, mathematics, and socialization.
