In 2017, Microsoft worked with educational researchers at Getting Smart on a study of students learning with Minecraft: Education Edition. More than 90% of surveyed teachers cited problem-solving, creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration as skills gained through using Minecraft in the classroom. In the two years since the study, several additional reports have cited the Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) benefits of Minecraft.

The Mindful Knight, an interactive world in Minecraft that provides an introduction to the basics of mindfulness which will help students understand the benefits and main concepts.
