I saw Minecraft being used to teach people about wildlife and landscape conservation at Mozfest in 2015 — it was utterly amazing to me to see 20 or so kids (between 6-10 years old I&#x27;d guess) just easily navigating all these conservation scenarios. Several of them actually showed the devs running the workshop how to do new things or work around problems.<p>I&#x27;m surprised this isn&#x27;t a more popular thing now.
