Frequently Asked Questions

Brooklearners is an in-person enrichment program that uses Minecraft Education to teach students in grades K–8 essential skills like coding, collaboration, creativity, and conflict resolution. We offer after-school, in-school, and weekend programs throughout Brooklyn.

Minecraft is the most popular game in the world—and for good reason. It’s an open-ended digital sandbox that encourages problem-solving, systems thinking, and creativity. With Minecraft Education Edition, students engage in structured challenges that teach academic and real-world skills in a format they already love.

That’s a valid concern—and one we take seriously. (We’re parents, too!) Brooklearners turns screen time into purposeful learning time. Every session is guided, collaborative, and goal-oriented. Kids aren’t passively consuming content—they’re building, planning, negotiating, and reflecting. It’s screen time with heart and strategy.

So many! Minecraft Education includes lessons in math, science, language arts, history, geography, digital citizenship, storytelling, architecture, and art. At Brooklearners, we combine these core subjects with social-emotional themes—like empathy, teamwork, and communication—to create a well-rounded learning experience.

Not at all! Our curriculum is designed to support both beginners and experienced players. We start each session with a tutorial and ease students into building, exploring, and learning at their own pace.

Brooklearners doesn’t just focus on technical skills. Every session is built around social-emotional learning (SEL)—we teach kids how to collaborate, communicate, problem-solve, and lead, all through hands-on play and guided group challenges.

Nope! We provide everything. Our facilitators bring pre-configured laptops or tablets with Minecraft Education Edition installed, along with secure WiFi (if needed).

We keep our group sizes small—typically 10 to 15 students per instructor—to ensure every child gets personal attention and has space to collaborate effectively.

Brooklearners programs are held on-site at partner schools, community centers, and libraries across Brooklyn. We also offer pop-up sessions and weekend workshops in public spaces.

Absolutely. We work directly with schools and PTAs to offer 6–12 week in-school or after-school sessions. Contact us to schedule a FREE demo!
