MINECRAFT DESIGN CHALLENGE

ABOUT

The OSEA Provincial Minecraft Design Challenge is back!   This design challenge is for students in Grades 5 to 8 and is open to all OSEA elementary school members. 

CHALLENGE THEME

In this competition, teams will demonstrate their creativity and problem-solving skills by designing their own dog sled race track!  

Dog sled races are a thrilling blend of exhilaration and focus, where the cold bites at your skin and the vast wilderness stretches endlessly before you. Now, imagine combining the high-speed excitement of Mario Kart with the intensity of dog sled racing, all set within a beautifully crafted Indigenous-themed Minecraft map set in the remote area of Manitoba known as the “Pimachiowin Aki”. Picture racing through snowy trails, dodging obstacles, navigating icy turns, and using power-ups inspired by traditional elements—all while racing alongside others in an immersive Minecraft dog sled adventure!

CUSTOM MAP

For this year's challenge, we will be providing teams with a custom Minecraft world map of the Pimachiowin Aki Bloodvein River First Nation area, which will serve as the setting for the challenge. 

RESOURCES

Your team can access additional resources specific to this challenge on the Minecraft Education website.
