Microsoft Minecraft teams up with NASA for Artemis Missions #Space #Education @NASA @Minecraft @Microsoft
Did you know we’re going back to the Moon? With Artemis missions, NASA will land the first woman and first person of color on the Moon using innovative technology to explore more of the lunar surface than ever before! After collaborating with partners, NASA will establish the first long-term presence on the Moon. Then, they will use what is learned about the Moon to take the next giant leap; sending the first astronauts to Mars!
To celebrate this historic event, Minecraft Education is partnering with NASA and the Challenge Center to bring the incredible and captivating Artemis Mission worlds into Minecraft. Help students make history with the groundbreaking Artemis Mission, taking on the seemingly impossible goal of reaching the Moon and creating a survivable base for research and habitation to launch the next era of space exploration.
The first Minecraft Education mission focuses on the Artemis rocket, with students exploring and building their own.
