There were over 130 worlds created and thousands of hours of work put in by young people all over the country for the Ireland's Future Is MINE...BUT we can finally reveal the four provincial winners PLUS the submissions who have achieved highly commended status!
RTÉjr and their friends at Microsoft Dream Space asked you to harness Minecraft Educational Edition to redesign your locality in a more sustainable way and we were blown away by what we saw.
But, we should take a moment to say well done and thanks so much to all the teachers and pupils who signed up and submitted their work. If you availed of the 120 free accounts, you still have access to Minecraft Education Edition for the rest of the term!
