If you look closely, there is a trapdoor that will lead you to a bamboo themed base. inside, there is a fish tank, a functional chair, a yellow bed, appliances like a furnace and crafting table, a enchanting table, and a bookshelf. There is a minecart that leads to inside the cake which has a candy machine, a whack-a-mole, and a functional slide. Then, another minecart will lead you to inside the wolf, which is a big roller coaster. You go up to the wolf's head, get bounced back down, and go back to the cake. Then, when you walk back in, there is another tunnel with a minecart. You get in, go across, and see a bamboo button, press it, and rainbow fireworks go off.

Rainbow Science Classroom I think that in the future, they will have a more enthusiastic approach to how they approach science.

The open air animal lab/garden will be for the students to observe and (ETHICALLY) experiment with the animals, learn about lunar cycles, weather, and plants. How are you going to learn about what's happening outside if you never set foot in it?

6-8th Grade Minecraft Challenge Winner Calista K., 6th Grade
Frankenstein-Craft This is a collage of one of the coolest books ever written, Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. She wrote the book when she was only 18 for a writing contest. It became one of the most famous horror stories ever and is the first science fiction novel.
My dad showed me the Universal movie from 1931 last Halloween and that version is how most people picture Frankenstein's Monster or The Creature (Frankenstein is actually the last name of the doctor who made him!). It is VERY different than the book! It is not really scary now, but is a little sad that people fear The Monster.
The windmill is from the last scene of the movie where The Monster runs away from angry villagers and they burn it down. It was very fun to build everything! My dad helped in planting all of the wheat seeds (he said there was hundreds bc we had to make the whole field) and doing filters on my screeshots. While I was building (and then setting it on fire!) he taught me about how movies are made, like how you can make "facades" of buildings that are actually just flat bc you don't go in the building for the photo and can trick the camera.

Beagle & Bird on Ice
My picture is a nighttime scene depicting a beagle and a bird skating on a frozen lake. For a lake to freeze and be safe for ice skating the temperature needs to be below freezing which is 32° F and it has to be at this temperature or below for a few days, so the ice could be thick enough to skate on.
9-12 Grade Minecraft Challenge Winner Shijoon A., 9th Grade
The Four Seasons
For spring, I made a pond surrounded by flowers and trees to represent the planting season. For summer, I made a swimming pool with a picnic because during the hot days people enjoy taking a swim and going outside. I made barn for fall because the leaves start to change and it's harvest season. I made a cabin for winter because people want to be inside to stay warm and cozy because of the snow outside. Weather prediction uses temperature and precipitation patterns to forecast events. Global climates vary due to geographical location, altitude, and large-scale atmospheric and oceanic systems.

Ross Learning Space
"She wanted to put a whole learning center with pictures of the outside and inside. She loves books so she put a ton of bookshelves and desks for all of her friends/classmates. She made everything herself and told me (her mom) exactly what pictures to use and what she wanted done through the whole process. She made the structure out of gold and glass, then the inside she wanted to be fancy so that “ All of my friends would enjoy it as much as me!” P.S. I had to write this because she’s 5 and is still working on her words/spelling and i had to use my birthday because it says 13 and up when i put hers but the sign up thing says kindergarten and up."

Hannah L., 9th Grade
"Day"
On the right I have the village and on the left I put a school since k12 is a school. I put a coffee shop named BC or brain coffee after what one of my teachers(Mr. J.) calls the bellringers we have to do before class. In the middle there is an ABC army putting up their new k12 flag and rejoicing. I made two Lego mini figures that look like me and my sister which we both go to k12. The tan and blue building is my house, and the yellow building is another house also known as the fan club building.

"Space Adventure"
My Minecraft creation is a very small space station that orbits around all the planets gathering data and then transfers it to NASA computer system's.. the studies from my small space station hopefully will be able to gather enough research one day to determine if other planets can be lived on.
