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.

SDG skills covered:

• Harnessing Data: Use data to inform decisions by collecting, analysing, and visualising it for real-world sustainability impact.

• Critical Thinking: Question assumptions, explore different viewpoints, and reflect deeply on the values that shape sustainability actions.
