A new pilot project is giving some of its youngest residents a powerful tool for change – Minecraft
Part of the Smart Docklands Pilot Call 2024 projects, Craft My Street addresses the topic of community development by delivering workshops to schools in Dublin. A total of 139 students participated and 54 ideas were designed in Minecraft.
This initiative was created by researchers from University College Dublin that used gaming to amplify youth voices in city-making. Blending open source geospatial data with interactive multiplayer crowd mapping, this project enables young people to propose real-world urban interventions, all while building their ideas block by block in a virtual version of Dublin’s Docklands.
