Workshop Overview: Design the Future City

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government is excited to announce a creative workshop designed for elementary school students in grades 4 to 6. This workshop encourages young minds to engage with digital technology in a fun and creative way. Designed to nurture creativity and imaginative thinking, this event is part of the "Tokyo Kids Creative Laboratory", affectionately referred to as "Kurilabo".

Workshop Details

Over the course of two days, participants will explore the concept of future cities. Utilizing the 3D modeling tool, Tinkercad, and the popular game Minecraft, kids will have the opportunity to bring their imaginative ideas to life.

Day 1: Brainstorming the Future City

On the first day, students will dive into brainstorming sessions where they can freely share and organize their ideas about what a future city could look like. Using Tinkercad, they will then create their own 3D models of buildings and infrastructure. This hands-on experience will teach them not only the basics of 3D modeling but also the importance of design, functionality, and creativity.

• - Idea Generation: Students will collaboratively think about their future city, discussing various possibilities and concepts.
• - 3D Model Creation: Using Tinkercad, they will create detailed models of their imagined buildings, thinking about their purpose and design.

Day 2: Bringing Ideas to Life in Minecraft

On the second day, students will take their 3D models and adapt them within the virtual world of Minecraft. Each group will enhance their structures and collaborate to build a cohesive city. By the end of the day, they will present their
