Fortnite Creative can be an effective tool for learning in much the same way that Minecraft can be. Even though it may seem odd to some, Minecraft's Education edition is quite well-known. Servers Fortnite Creative also offers courses to help you use both. Game blog

The Epic blog recently posted the course. It is specifically designed for secondary educators who are familiar with Minecraft and want to learn how to use Fortnite Creative in the classroom. The course contains 11 videos and shows a multitude of features and mechanics that the game offers to help users understand how it can be used to teach.

The blog post itself also highlights what are likely the two biggest differences between the game when it comes to building. As you probably know, Minecraft is all about building things brick by brick. Fortnite, however, offers ready-to use assets. Fortnite is theoretically more efficient, but it can lack some the complexity of Fortnite's coding elements.

Minecraft can be used to teach programming logic, due to the complexity of Redstone and command blocks. gaming Fortnite doesn't have the same kind of depth, but it does mimic the same freedom via different devices and mechanics instead. Things like the Item Placer device allow players to very easily see how they impact the world while they're being used. It provides a better feedback loop that is more immediate, which can be very helpful when teaching kids. It's just a little bit crazy to see Fortnite openly discussing bringing in Minecraft creators.
