Channel 9 news: Minecraft for History & culture

An Emersive education is working with Colorado students in building a replica of the 1830s-'40s trading post on the old Santa Fe Trail known as Bent's old fort. This class is bringing the experience of touring the fort to the world. This is bringing together both history and new age technology. Soon students will be able to tour the 3D replica and learn the history of the fort, which is one of South East Colorado's biggest tourist attractions.







Here is the article and Youtube video of the report:
