CoastCraft - Award winning

A reminder to check out CoastCraft!!

Learn about the features of coastal landscapes along with coastal processes.

Understand the characteristics of sand dune ecosystems, sand dune succession and how sand dunes are used as a nature-based solution for flooding and coastal erosion.

Explore a range of coastal management strategies to respond to predicted changes resulting from climate change and sea level rise.

Explore and visualise a range of potential futures influenced by the interactions with communities and stakeholders and the choices made by coastal managers. 

And did I mention that we won a BETT award!


The Judges praised Coast Craft as an 

“authentic digital learning experience that brings climate change and coastal geography vividly to life. By connecting curriculum content with real-world data and presenting it in a Minecraft-style environment, it enables pupils to learn through interactive simulations and understand the future impact of decision-making."


I worked on Coastcraft to create the Teacher Pack and also inform the creators about the best way to link to the curriculum, and what it should focus on. This work was as a consultant to the Geographical Association - another of many projects I've completed.
