This year, Queensland Parliament invited students from Years 4 to 12 to unleash their creativity in Minecraft Education and construct a lifelike parliamentary playground.

The winning model is a valuable addition to our suite of educational resources, enabling students all over the state to engage with the functions of the parliament and learn how our democracy works in fun and innovative ways.

Click here to access the winning Minecraft model of the Legislative Assembly Chamber, along with a Teacher Guide to support your use of this resource in the classroom.

Teams of up to five students were invited to complete the mission: to craft a scale model of Parliament's green chamber in Minecraft Education. Fantastic prizes were awarded, including merchandise for students, engraved awards and a chance to add the prestigious Parliamentary Education Cup to your school's trophy cabinet!
