Minecraft Camp 2014: Day 2 @acadecap

BrainGym

To start the day off, I introduced the students to BrainGym. I was introduced to this when supply teaching in England, a few years ago. Doing Brain Gym in the morning helps the students wake up, move and get their brains going. 

"Every great architect is - necessarily - a great poet. He must be a great original interpreter of his time, his day, his age."
-Frank Lloyd Wright

Following BrainGym, we had a special guest, Jean-François Jacques, an architect graduate from Carlton University. He came and spoke to the students about the importance of concepts when designing a building. He also spoke to the campers about how their dream home should tell a story and how to use narratives to help them tell their story.

Students then spent the morning planning their dream home. I was really impressed by the work that they did during this planning stage.

A long day of Minecraft creativity and building, just wouldn't be there same without some play time outside. After lunch, campers headed to Morrison park and enjoyed soccer, basketball, the water park and talking about Minecraft!
