Minecraft Education is available to all CMS students to play at home for free. Available only to those within the CMS Microsoft tenant, our students can download and play at home safely, taking advantage of all the educationally-oriented games, self-paced lessons, and challenges available only in Minecraft Edu. 

 

To download Minecraft Edu at home, go to the Minecraft Edu website https://education.minecraft.net/en-us and click download. Choose your device: Windows or Mac. The app is available for iPads and Android devices in their respective stores. Simply download the application to your device and then have your student log in with their CMS credentials. These are the same logins they use to log into their devices at school. Be sure you have their most current password. Once they are in, it’s time to play and learn!
