About This Event
Geology Club Miners Edition is an adventure for students in grades 3 through 7 who love Minecraft and want to explore the real world behind the game. Club members will connect what they see on screen to real rocks and minerals. Using UV flashlights, magnifiers, and simple tools, students will search through mineral-rich gravel, break open rocks, use lapidary equipment, and investigate materials that match in-game items like glowstone, obsidian, lapis, and more. By blending play, observation, and discovery, Geology Club Miners Edition offers a creative and hands-on way to explore science through a familiar and exciting lens.

Price: $350 for 6 weeks
Dates: March 26-April 30
