One Block on Top of the Other: Using Minetest to Teach Scrum
Paper in proceeding, 2022

Teaching Scrum using Lego has been an established teaching technique for years. However, the COVID-19 pandemic forced teachers all over the globe to rethink this valuable teaching tool. In this experience report, we show how we transferred our version of a Lego Scrum workshop into the world of Minetest, an open-source variant of Minecraft. We detail our reasoning, the concrete technical and pedagogical challenges, as well as experiences and reflections from the students, us as teachers, our peers, and theoretical frameworks. Finally, we share our materials to enable other teachers to use this new tool.
