Spotlight on the Sukkot Minecraft Challenge
Technology met tradition in an extraordinary way this past Sukkot!
The CIJE Minecraft Experience invited 5th-10th grade students to take on a unique Sukkot-themed challenge to design virtual parkour courses.
Participants crafted complex parkour courses in and around Sukkah structures that showcased their engineering and design thinking. (Parkour is a dynamic way of moving through spaces with jumping and climbing.)

More than a competition, Minecraft Challenges are unique opportunities to reimagine hands-on Jewish education.
