Science hunters is a UK outreach Project that uses Minecraft (a computer game that allows children to build with a wide range of blocks) to engage children with science. Sessions are based on a range of science topics and include practical activities. A new topic, on bioluminescence was designed in collaboration with staff and students at Aylesford School, a multiphase academy in Warwick, UK. The session was then tested with a primary school (Woodrow First School) and a secondary school (South Bromsgrove High School) in Worcestershire, UK, with benefits for all involved: practitioners gained direct access to the view of students, while students contributed to the development of a nationwide resource, giving them a sense of ownership and insights into research and professional practice processes.
