Mindcraft
Award: Wood Pencil
Wood Pencil / Digital / Health & Wellbeing / 2023
Mindcraft is a Minecraft map that helps to detect dyslexia in players, while improving their self-esteem and performance. For a long time, teachers and doctors thought that people with dyslexia were lazy or simply weren't clever. In reality, people with dyslexia are often quick to work things out and can more easily immerse themselves in other worlds, such as video games. That's why the dyslexia charity Puissance Dys created Mindcraft, the most difficult map in Minecraft – except for dyslexic people.
