Core Tools We Use

Minecraft Education

The main design tool for GameChanger Girls 2022 is Minecraft Education. It is available for all devices.

Other tools will be considered if they are preferred tools for the GameChangers. In 2026 Minecraft is still our core tool but we will accept games designed in tools familiar to the students. Tools such as Scratch, Godot and Unreal Engine are among some of the popular tools.
