Studying at Minecraft: students of the Higher School of Economics have opened a virtual university building

Students of the Higher School of Economics launched an unusual project – a server Minecraft, where the virtual building of the university on Pokrovka was recreated. About two hundred people took part in the creation of the server, and building plans and a mobile application were applied “Tower. Navigation”. At the opening, there was an exhibition of memes, a musical performance and lectures.

The goal of the project is to enable students to study remotely. In addition, on the server you can just walk around Pokrovka, play mini-games and take part in battles with swords or bows.

“Thanks to the virtual copy of the university, the boundaries between students disappear. Now it will be possible to meet and communicate in the HSE always, regardless of the time, location and epidemiological situation in the world. In addition to the communication and entertainment functions, the Minecraft Tower will be a great venue for events. ”
