The Minecraft Builder Bowl is an international tournament for the maker movement

It’s time to take science fairs to the next level, and the Immersive Education Initiative (I-ED) is going to use Minecraft to make that happen.

I-ED is announcing the first ever Minecraft Builder Bowl as part of its efforts to harness the growing maker movement, which comprises people who spend their free time trying to figure out how to create things. This is a competitive event for people around the world to come together to make the most interesting “immersive experiences, content, and applications” using and inspired by the block-building phenomenon Minecraft. The tournament will start in June at satellite events around the world, and the finals will take place at the Immersion 2015 conference in Paris this September.
