Minecraft Education volume licensing provides, often in partnership with Prodigy Learning, structured access for schools,, camps, and organizations, allowing IT administrators to manage licenses via the Microsoft 365 Admin Center.

Based on the partnership established in May 2024, Prodigy Learning and Minecraft Education provide specialized, industry-recognized certification pathways that can be licensed in volume for educational institutions. This, combined with Minecraft Education’s standard volume licensing, allows school systems to deploy game-based learning across K-12 classrooms.

The curriculum enables educators with little to no computer science experience to teach AI, cyber security, and coding through Minecraft.

Students can earn industry-recognized credentials (digital badges) upon completing these courses.

Highlights:

• Cyber in Minecraft: A three-unit pathway covering digital citizenship, networking, and security.
• AI Ready Skills: A new program (announced Jan 2025) to teach artificial intelligence skills within Minecraft.
• Standard Features: Includes access to Code Builder (Python, JavaScript), Immersive Reader, and classroom management tools
