The Hands Across Minecraft Movement
Hands Across Minecraft is a national student initiative celebrating America250 through creativity, technology, and civic imagination.
Launching nationwide on May 26, students across the country will sign the Hands Across Minecraft Student Declaration, design their Minecraft characters, and place symbolic blocks representing their communities in a growing national chain.
The celebration continues throughout the year with National Build Battle competitions, the National Esports Touring Museum, and student participation across the United States.

In just a few class periods, students can design their own Minecraft character, share their story, and invite their community to support their school.
