The Cloudmaker Project aims to foster creativity and collaboration between young people through an online design platform. It utilizes the popular Minecraft game combined with 3D printing and physical computing to allow students to jointly design virtual structures, print physical objects, and program interactions between the digital and physical worlds. The project brings together academics, artists, developers, and cultural institutions in an innovative collaboration between the Liverpool School of Art and Design and FACT arts center to explore new forms of digital engagement and creativity.
