The Microsoft Asia Headquarters invited AIS to participate in its Minecraft competition in March 2020, as part of the launch of a new workspace at Frasers Tower. The task was to create a floor design for the space using Minecraft: Education Edition.

A group of Year 5 students from the school’s coding and design CCA jumped to the challenge and joined the competition. Over the past year, the CCA has been exploring and teaching the learning platform, and it was a great opportunity for the students to put their skills to practice and get some hands-on experience.

With the competition held during the Circuit Breaker period, it was initially difficult to organise, as the students were working together as a large group of 10. They were eventually split into two teams. The school is proud of the students for working hard through the last weeks of Semester 1 to complete the project. Of the schools that participated, AIS was the only school to see the project through to completion. The final presentation was held at the school’s Coral Dixon Theatre, where the students presented their floor plans to the

Microsoft team. The design was selected to be 3D printed and displayed in the Microsoft office.
