Our Anglo-Saxon Village needs your Minecraft construction skills! Can you build a famous monastery in Minecraft?
We are looking for young people aged 8-25 to take part in our Minecraft (Re)Constructors project, constructing a virtual monastery – inspired by St Paul’s, which was home to the Venerable Bede.
Our archaeological and historical collections staff will share information about Anglo-Saxon monasteries with you. Using data from archaeological digs in Jarrow, the North East and beyond to inspire your own creations, you’ll build an Anglo-Saxon monastery to share with Jarrow Hall visitors.
The project will give you the opportunity to:
- Have your work on display to thousands of visitors a year at Jarrow Hall
- Gain valuable experience working on an exciting computer-based project
- Gain experience in project management and collaborative working
- Meet other young people in the North East with a passion for Minecraft
Prizes also awarded for outstanding contribution to the project.
See our Application Pack for details on how to get involved.
Your application must be emailed to [email protected] by 4pm on Sunday February 2nd 2025. Successful applicants will be invited for a planning meeting and introduction to the archaeology of Anglo-Saxon monasteries on Saturday 1st March 2025.
