Minecraft Games Prep Kids for STEM Professions
In the digital, fast-based world we live in, video games and related toys that are not only fun but inspire kids to build STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) skills could not be a more important asset to the success of the next generation. Leading the pack in that gaming category ideal for youth growing up now, is a huge assortment of Minecraft products now available at Best Buy.
MBE partnered with Best Buy for this review
Minecraft, currently one of the most popular family-friendly games, first arrived on the scene back in 2009. The brain-child of Swedish game developer Markus "Notch" Alexei Persson, this sandbox video game makes it possible to build 3D virtual worlds with cubes. Not only does this block building game encourage creativity in an entertaining way, it also sets the stage for boys and girls to engage in a variety of other activities such as exploration, gathering resources, survival challenges and combat that involve problem-solving skills, spacial abilities, strategic thinking and logic.
All of these benefits of Minecraft help instill STEM aptitude and learning in young students who will eventually evolve into the innovators, scientists, coders, mathematicians and engineers of tomorrow. With such a rich and rewarding concept that is actually good for our children and the world's future, I'm pleased to share what is waiting for you and your family to tap into at Best Buy including the Xbox One S console bundle, additional Minecraft games and many Minecraft toys and collectibles.
Among the many Best Buy finds to discover
- Microsoft Xbox One S 500 GB Minecraft Favorites Console Bundle, $249.99 (regular $299.99)
- Minecraft Collector Cases $21.99-$32.99
- Lots of Minecraft video games, $29.99
- Minecraft Motion Movie Set, $19.99 (regular $32.99)
- Minecraft Mini Figures, $3.49

Any of these Minecraft games and toys would make great last-minute holiday gifts. That's because these are gifts which keep nurturing our children and giving long after the holidays are over.
