Summary/Abstract: This paper describes a small case study on using Minecraft during a course at Pacinotti-Archimede High School, where the students created their own 3D games in Minecraft. It was not just about using a modern tool, but we could also see several principles of modern education. The course merged two major topics of contemporary education - computational thinking and learning about sustainable development. Pupils in the course were enabled to unleash their creative potential as they become creators of a meaningful game and designers of a better world. Learning was based on collaboration. The case study presented may be an inspiration for similar use of Minecraft in formal or non-formal education.
