How it Works:
Your Blocksmith Education License comes with three main components:
  • Access to the latest version of the Blocksmith Builder software
  • 3 instructor accounts and 36 curriculum credits to redeem in the Blocksmith Curriculum Market
  • Printed Educator Guide from PCS Edventures

The starter credits that come with your Blocksmith Education License can be redeemed in the Blocksmith Curriculum Market for curriculum tracks and experiences. Students then use the Blocksmith Builder software to model objects and scenarios, bringing them to life with an extensive logic system. These can be played immediately, or be uploaded to the cloud and download to VR/AR viewing equipment or their personal devices. The print curriculum included with this license is designed to support the 12-hour Camp Bundles in the Blocksmith Curriculum Market: Classic Games, Farm Sim and Royale Battles. While each course has a slightly different scope and sequence, any one of these three options can serve as an introduction to Blocksmith Builder, giving students the skills they need to pursue open-ended projects or more advanced curriculum tracks.
  • Classic Games
    Re-live and re-make classic arcade games, but in 3D! Remake classic games like Frogger, Mario, and Super Dodge Ball, and then customize them with ideas and game mechanics of your own
  • Farm Sim
    Learn how to build a Farming Simulator with a series of four games that let your players plant seeds, grow, harvest and take them to market. Students learn the basic concepts behind beloved economy games like Stardew Valley and Farm Simulator.
  • Royale Battles
    Create a Battle Royale game in your own world! Learn how to make a 3D level, your own water pistols and eventually a completely customized multiplayer game.
These 12-hour Camp Bundles come with detailed step-by-step instructions for students that can be viewed directly in the Blocksmith Builder software, while the accompanying printed Educator Guide includes key terms, background information, intros, closing activities for each lesson, information on standards alignment and additional technical information for instructors.

Classroom Management:
Depending on the number of credits that come with your license, you have a couple of options:
  • Simplest: choose or let the class choose one track to go through together.
  • More Adventurous: let students choose which track they take on. While they will learn slightly different skills in each track, any of the three sets of quests will give them enough of a foundation to explore future courses or design independently.

Your Blocksmith Subscription:
Your education license includes a one-year subscription to Blocksmith Education. As long as your subscription remains active, you’ll receive 3 additional credits each month that can be used to purchase advanced gaming extensions to the 12-hour camp curriculum tracks or additional Blocksmith questlines.

If your Blocksmith subscription is not renewed, you won’t lose any student work or the curriculum tracks you’ve already purchased, but you’ll stop receiving additional credits and updates to the Blocksmith Builder software.

For additional subscription information, contact support@stemfinity.com.
