3) I don’t have Minecraft- Visit a local Archiverse Minecraft Station!

On set days (see our What’s On? page), you can visit an East Riding venue to use our dedicated computers installed with the Archiverse map on Minecraft Education Edition. You must be accompanied by a parent or guardian if you are under the age of 16.

We will also be delivering group workshops and Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) events- so watch this space!
