ROM Minecraft

Minecraft : Education Edition est une plateforme d'apprentissage basée sur le jeu qui encourage la créativité, la collaboration et la résolution de problèmes dans un environnement numérique immersif.

Les programmes ROM Minecraft sont conçus pour exploiter la puissance de cet outil d’apprentissage incroyable afin de créer des expériences immersives, captivantes et mémorables.

ROM propose actuellement plusieurs programmes Minecraft : Education Edition qui favorisent un apprentissage personnalisé et significatif sur une grande variété de thèmes, notamment la science, l’utilisation des ressources, la communauté, le respect culturel et le codage.

Les programmes mensuels d’une heure vous permettent, ainsi qu’à vos élèves, d’apprendre un sujet sous la supervision d’éducatrices du ROM.

Les programmes élargis permettent une exploration indépendante et approfondie de divers sujets, notamment les roches et minéraux, la durabilité et la programmation.

Pour plus d’informations, contactez les Services éducatifs du ROM et assurez-vous d'inclure Minecraft dans l’objet du texte. (romlearning@rom.on.ca).

Why Minecraft Education?

We use Minecraft as a tool for learning a little differently from the way students might play at home for fun. Read the summary of peer-reviewed research outlining the benefits of learning with Minecraft.

CONSULTER LA BROCHURE (EN ANGLAIS)

Uses the intrinsic motivation built into the Minecraft platform to increase student engagement.

Captures all the pedagogical benefits of using models or dioramas to reflect student learning, but without the limitations of desk space or budgets (and no mess to clean up after).

Includes built-in tools for assessment, literacy differentiation, translation, and student security.

Cultivates STEAM skills including spatial mathematics, cartesian coordinates, engineering, circuit logics, critical thinking, and problem solving.

Develops critical 21st century skills including communication, collaboration, creativity, and social-emotional skills.

Aidez-nous à mieux répondre à vos besoins en matière d'apprentissage.

Répondez au sondage

Le ROM invite les éducateurs, les accompagnateurs et les apprenants de tous âges à partager leurs avis sur le portail d'apprentissage du ROM, la plateforme dédiée à l'apprentissage au sein du musée.

Ce court sondage nous aidera à comprendre ce qui fonctionne bien et comment le portail d'apprentissage peut continuer à se développer et à enrichir les expériences d'apprentissage de tous à l'avenir.

Le sondage prendra entre 5 et 7 minutes et sera disponible en ligne jusqu'au mercredi 28 janvier 2026.

Minecraft 101 for Teachers - January 2026. Info Coming Soon

These one-hour virtual programs cover a new theme every month, ideal for classes that don't have the capacity for an extended Guided program. These lessons are structured for grade 4-8, but we welcome younger grades keen to use Minecraft, or older grades with creativity and curiosity.

Lessons begin at 9:30 am. Live attendance is recommended but not required; all registered classes will receive a link to the session recording. During the live sessions, teachers will still have the ability to pause and rewind the lesson as needed to accommodate their own students' pace.

Click on a lesson thumbnail in the "Monthly Museum Minecraft Lessons" section below to learn more and book. If you wish to participate in a lesson that has already passed, you will still be able to register to view the lesson recording.

Computer Science Education Week: The Show Must Go On! – December Monthly Museum Minecraft - Virtual

Coding week! Curtain, lights! This is it, the night of nights. Let’s code an awesome skit. On with the show, this is it!

Students will begin their journey in the Royal Ontario Museum’s research centre in the fictional world of Rocklandia. From there, they will travel to three different research sites to help ROM scientists with their studies of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks.

Along the way, students will encounter challenges blocking their path that they will need to code their way through with the assistance of Indigenous scientists and the Minecraft agent. After visiting all three research sites, students will return to the research centre and build their own museum to share their learning about rocks and minerals.

This program can be done independently or with Museum Educator support. Visit the lesson page for more details about live guided lessons and additional program supports.

Program structure:

Virtual Visit #1 with a ROM educator for program introduction. (1 hour)
Independent class time to travel to each research site and complete coding challenges and collection missions. (Approximately 8 class periods*)
Virtual Visit #2 with a ROM educator to answer content questions about rocks and minerals or coding in preparation for museum build. (1 hour)
Independent class time for students to plan and build their own museums to show their math and science learning (Approximately 8 class periods*)

*Average estimate. Time requirements may vary according to classroom Minecraft and coding experience.

Inspired by Noelle Hamlyn: Lifers, this resource will include several activities covering Science, Art, Music, and Climate Change topics for Junior, Intermediate, and Senior grades.

Students begin their journey on a sunken cargo ship, and must use clues from the Virtual Lifers exhibition to unlock doors and find their way to the ship's bridge. From there, students are transported to their hometown and become the new Urban Planners, remaking the town to be more sustainable. Students will be able to engage in different activities based on different curriculum topics.
