Minecraft ™ competition – build the Eureka Stockade and themed school holiday program
The Museum of Australian Democracy at Eureka (M.A.D.E) is running an online Minecraft™ competition where under 18’s can show their best Minecraft™ Eureka Stockade – full details attached.
Competitors will build their stockades on a custom Minecraft™ server called MADECORE, a digital environment where all competitors can interact, collaborate and build on ideas from one another. The winning model will be the one that builds a fun, creative version of the Eureka Stockade.
“We are very excited to be collaborating with The Museum of Australian Democracy at Eureka (M.A.D.E) and engaging more kids in Australian history by using gamification,” says Craig Josic, the Co-Founder of The Core.
