My Favorite Game

My favorite game is Minecraft. The game far exceeded my expectations, due to the fact that I didn’t think that it would be very good. Nod, the person who made the game probably spent a lot of time programming it, but spends no time fixing the errors and running efficiency. There is no information on how long it took to design it. Pictured below is a structure I designed in the game.

Demo

Yes, I do think I've learned more about my game by posting our demo because I realized how much work we needed to do. I aquired this knowledge because I realized how much work we have to do before we are done. I don't suggest any changes to Wikipedia to make my learning experince better.

Using Civics Ideas in STEM

Some ideas for using Civics in STEM would be to combine them into one. You can easily combine Technology and civics because they go hand in hand really easily. People vote on machines which are indeed technology. Science would also be an easy thing because you could combine politics and the engineering of better and safer sources of energy. Math could be combined with economics and other things such as the Stock Market. Engineering could be combined by the technology that is discussed in politics, such as I mentioned before, safer energy sources.

Favorite Gaming Console

My favorite gaming console is the Xbox 360. I think it has the most games out of the other modern systems. I dont like it because of gmes like Call of Generic, but I do for games like Rock Band and Assassins Creed. I think it has the widest veriety of games out of the other consoles, and Xbox Live is pretty useful in terms of it being user-friendly. I spend much more time on my computer than I do on my Xbox, and I would have chosen that over the Xbox, but I dont think that actually counts as a system. I spend about 6 hours on my computer and on Xbox every day.
