Barbara Mikolajczak is on the faculty at Boston College and teaches computing concepts at St. John School. Her students at BC have been working on building the Boston Tea Party and Old State House in Minecraft, while these elementary school kids have focused on one of the city's most famous landmarks.
The students are putting a lot of different skills to work, from math to architecture to interior design. The experience is steering kids towards a variety of career paths.
