BeIMCraft Built Environment Information Modelling Craft [electronic resource]
Language: English Subject(s): Online resources: Summary: BeIMCraft is a modification of the existing Minecraft platform, and builds on it to highlight the emerging role of digital technology in this sector. It reflects the interdisciplinary nature and requirement for collaboration with the built environment?s supply chain by challenging pupils to consider planning issues, health and safety risks, structural aspects, sustainability and cost when creating their 3D world. For example, when creating a building the pupils need to firstly place foundations or else the building will collapse. They can also only build to a certain height before stability issues need to be considered. We have also assigned costs to bespoke materials to highlight the importance of having an appreciation of material costs. Health and safety aspects have also been included, such as PPE and site safety.| Item type | Current library | Call number | Copy number | Status | Barcode | |
