The BetterGeoEdu project

BetterGeoEdu is a Europe wide project, funded through EIT RawMaterials, to support formal and informal educators in teaching and learning about 21st century issues, from sustainability to raw materials pathways and processes, using Minecraft.

BetterGeoEdu provides on and off-line resources for children to learn about the processes and pathways, from geology through to final product, that underpin our economy. In a realistic way, children learn about processes from rocks to metals to batteries and monster scanners, in a highly engaging programme that captures the imagination while also supporting learning.
