Continue Building Beyond the Workshop

STEMCraft is the online world of STEMMechanics, giving young makers a place to continue building, experimenting and creating long after a workshop ends.

Built around Minecraft, STEMCraft lets young makers explore engineering ideas, solve design challenges and create imaginative projects together in a safe, respectful environment.

Rather than focusing on competition or rankings, STEMCraft encourages creativity, curiosity and practical problem-solving through play.

This month’s challenge

Space Station!

Build your own space station this month! Create a floating base among the stars with living quarters, laboratories, observation decks, docking bays, spacecraft or anything else your station needs.

There’s no right or wrong way to build. Think about what people would need to live and work in space, then get creative and have fun.

Think about power, food, living spaces, transport and what your crew would need to survive and work aboard your space station.
