Episode 16: How Minecraft Was Invented

Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note. Did you know Minecraft was built in about six days — and that creepers were a mistake? Join Miss Cam and Nate for the true story of Markus Persson, a Swedish kid who loved LEGO and the woods, wrote his first computer game at eight years old, and grew up to build a world out of blocks in his spare time after work. Kids will find out what Minecraft was called before it was called Minecraft, why a creature that was supposed to be a pig turned into the game's most famous monster, and how millions of players helped finish a game that was shared before it was done. A true story about tinkering, happy accidents, and letting other people build on your idea, for curious kids ages 4–10. Turn your imaginations ON!
