The LRSM Building Recreated in ‘Minecraft’

This image of the LRSM was built by Ben Hammel and Randy Chen (screenshot by Makarios Chung) for Penn “Minecraft.” A group of Penn students set up a Minecraft server and coordinated recreating the campus together over the last two weeks of March. Junior Andrew Guo first came up with the idea for a virtual Penn campus inspired by news of a Japanese elementary school graduation on “Minecraft.” The Penn students also interacted with other students at Columbia University and Brown University who were working on similar projects to set up possible Hunger Games-like challenges between schools.
