"Exploring Geology Through Minecraft: Connecting Kids' Online Interests to Real-Life at Rice Northwest Museum"

The Rice Northwest Museum in Hillsboro, Oregon, hosted "The Minecraft Day: Diamonds and Diorite" event, aiming to bridge the gap between kids' interest in Minecraft and real-life geology. Children participated in activities such as cracking geodes and creating Minecraft-inspired crafts, while also exploring the museum's rock and mineral exhibits. The event provided an opportunity for kids to see the connection between their online interests and the natural world.
