![]() ![]() Students will be tasked with learning about and documenting several animal habitats, as well as gaining knowledge on green bridges and helping wildlife safely cross the road. Students will build their coding skills using Microsoft’s MakeCode to change road signs depending on the scenario on the road. ![]() Students will take a journey exploring various points in history, being guided through the past, visiting Roman Britain, the Medieval period and the Tudor period. Using a Minecraft model of a green bridge, students will explore the biodiversity of the area by photographing the flora and fauna in the landscape. Students will complete tasks as they’re taken on a historical journey through different periods, with Stonehenge as the backdrop, including the Mesolithic era, Neolithic era, Bronze Age, Roman Britain, First World War, present-day and the future with potential improvements to the current road. Students will use a section of the Caxton Gibbet roundabout to create a new stretch of road while keeping animal habitats safe. A428 Black Cat to Caxton Gibbet improvements - Natural habitats game Using MakeCode, they'll manage road signs responding to different scenarios, including severe weather conditions and wandering animals. Students will be the controller behind keeping the new Lower Thames Crossing safe. Students will learn about tunnelling and have the chance to excavate and build a portion of the new Lower Thames Crossing tunnel using a Minecraft model. Our games Lower Thames Crossing - Tunnel digging There are also opportunities for our team to come out and run Minecraft workshops for students. Teachers just need access to Minecraft Education Edition, which is commonly used in schools. The games offer a fun way for key stage 2 (ages 7-11) and key stage 3 (ages 11-14) to learn, and we have everything teachers will need including lesson plans and game guides. And they can learn about protecting and improving biodiversity, conserving heritage for future generations to enjoy, creating new technology to make our roads safer, and operating machines to build one of the world’s largest tunnels. They'll see what it takes to build and maintain a road. In the games, students will learn about science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects. We need a diverse workforce to build the roads of the future and we’re using Minecraft to translate the work we do in classrooms. National Highways is inspiring young people to learn about the range of rewarding careers that connect people around the country. ![]()
