By Sofía Pichihua

Students from 12 to 15 years can participate in a Minecraft competition, which seeks to explore Stem (science, technology and mathematics) careers in a creative and collaborative way.

The Educational Tournament, organized by The Inspire Garage of Globe, seeks to design and Build Formula 1 circuits and sustainable urban tracks within the Minecraft video game.

The competition will be divided into two stages:

– Local stage (September): School teams will compete recreating an official F1 track in Minecraft.

– International stage (October): local winners will design from scratch a street track inspired by their city, integrating sustainability elements.

Who can participate in the Minecraft tournament?

The students of Lima and other participating cities such as Buenos Aires, Córdoba, Medellín, Mexico City, Santiago de Chile, among others, will be able to register a team composed of adolescents from 12 to 15 years, who are part of the same school.

It is mandatory to have a responsible tutor (teacher or designated adult). The registration to the Inspire Garage program will be until July 25, 2025 from this form.

Francisco Michref, Director of the Public Affairs and Sustainability Area of Globant, he said to the Andean agency That, in the local phase, the precision of the F1 circuit, representative elements of the city, creativity in cultural trivies and the quality of presentation will be qualified.

“In the international tournament, the teams will be qualified by the originality of the design, the integration of sustainability into the project, the use of trivies and the clarity of the presentation. Each team must communicate what is done in a face -to -face instance, justify their decisions and answer questions from the jury,” he said.

The final presentations will be held in face -to -face format at the Globant offices in San Isidro, Lima.

Is it necessary to know how to use Minecraft?

The competition is designed as a learning experience. Previous experience is required with the Minecraft game, since the willingness to learn, work as a team and develop innovative ideas.

Minecraft It is an iconic platform in terms of digital creation that allows users to build virtual worlds, develop solutions and challenge their creativity. Its main potential is the application in educational environments because it encourages logic for design and planning.

The chosen theme – Formula 1 circuits and sustainable urban tracks – connects creativity with real issues such as urban design, technological innovation and environmental commitment, aligned to the educational objectives of the competition and the company. Formula 1, in addition, is a discipline that – again – opens the door to Latin Americans to compete at international levels.
