Unleash your creative potential!
Do it now, it's free.
You'll meet your trainers, learn key mechanics of Minecraft (mining, crafting, and building) while exploring virtual Erasmus Campus, and solve small creative challenges.
Once you know how to handle your pickaxe, we will learn about different types of problem-solving. We will focus on the 4-step problem-solving process and apply it to solve a simple problem like building a bridge.
You will learn about various thinking techniques that can help you to come up with unique solutions. You will work in a small team to solve challenges like building an elevator or scoring the best time in a scavenger hunt.
Problems that do not have one or obvious solution. Here we will build an elaborate mechanism to transport an object or find a correct path through a mine-infested field. You will also learn about the biases that hinder our creative process.
Chaotic problems do not have a clear cause nor solution. Here you will need to rely on your teammates and explore which of the techniques you have learned so far would work to give you an edge.
We will not spoil much, but it will certainly push you to use all the problem-solving and creative thinking techniques you have learned so far.

Small parts of some sessions might be recorded, or screenshots of the zoom calls might be taken for communication, education and/or marketing purposes.
Trainings are subject to change in format (online/offline) to adhere with the measures taken by the Dutch government and Erasmus University Rotterdam.
