Planet Protectors Toolkit: Data Explorers Unplugged

Data Explorers Unplugged No computers? No problem!

Inspired by the Data Explorers on Minecraft Education, this unplugged version helps students explore how data can be collected, interpreted, and used to solve real-world sustainability challenges.

Learners take on the role of data scientists-in-training, using storytelling, creativity and critical thinking to uncover patterns, make decisions, and propose solutions that support the Global Goals. It’s a perfect way to introduce data literacy and sustainability competencies in a collaborative, engaging way—whether you’re in the classroom, a workshop, or an outdoor learning setting.
