The Goal of this competition is to motivate children, to change their time spent in Minecraft to learn new technological skills and at the same time to think about, how could the fully automated production of future look and in what it will differentiate from nowadays standard process.

Its up to the individual teams, how much work and time do they put into their production. The basic work with REDSTONE and COMMAND_BLOCK, which they use in game for utilizing the technical adjustments and processes of automated production, can kids learn at workshops and courses, which throughout the year are organized together with the association TIP Pilsen on elementary schools in Pilsen region, or also at summer camps.
