Introduction
Minecraft: one of the most popular sandbox games in the world, allows us to submerge ourselves in a virtually endless block-filled world. In a society where thousands of replicated servers exist, new ideas are crucial for prosperity. That is where Atlas began. How can Minecraft be used as something more than a game? How can we tie it into other areas of our day?
Considering the majority of Minecraft players are under 18 years old, developing a fully-functional educational platform for Minecraft could not only have a substantial benefit to educational institutions, but it could also help improve our community as a whole.

The Goal
The Atlas project's goal is to develop an innovative educational Minecraft platform designed for both the public and educational institutions. This would allow a wide array of players to join, giving everyone the opportunity to work together and achieve more in an engaging way.
Atlas' critical thinking question is: How can Minecraft be used as an educational tool that cultivates strategic thinking in an engaging way?

Atlas is an organization that values community and being part of the team. Describe a time that you worked to help another individual feel "part of the group.": My friend when we were playing skyblock, fell and lost all his stuff. An auction was going on and I was able to get several buckets. I gave some to other people, since we had alot of them.
What would a friend or family member say about your computer/electronic device usage, and your efficiency on a computer/electronic device?: I can be on everyday but not really saturday or sunday. If it's saturday, I can stay up at night and watch around of anyone at all would be playing. Week days I usually play for about 2-2:30 minutes every day.
Atlas wants to make all users feel welcome. Do you think digital citizenship is important? Why or why not?: It is important because if the staff is friendly, they can spread it to friends and other friends and how nice the staff is.
Atlas will include users from a variety of age groups. Is it important to treat everyone equally or different? Why or why not?: It is very important because parents can watch their children playing and if they swear or be mean in any way, the child could lose it's time playing minecraft. Older people like 12+ can play without parents watching and they can use huge language and get themselves banned or something.

What would a friend or family member say about your computer/electronic device usage, and your efficiency on a computer/electronic device?: Its okay. If your asking how much im on my laptop, it'd be around 5-7 hours a day.

Atlas is an organization that values community and being part of the team. Describe a time that you worked to help another individual feel "part of the group.": Maybe a month ago, in a group project for a server API, we had a group member leave. I've asked why the member left, and generally helped the member get back into the group, and feel happy. If someone doesn't feel apart of Atlas, I would try and include them in more activities.
What would a friend or family member say about your computer/electronic device usage, and your efficiency on a computer/electronic device?: A friend or family member would say my interest in electronic devices is great. I have a really high interest in them, and basically how they work, along with most other objects. Many say I'm very efficient with my electronic devices, due to my typing and programming abilities.
Atlas wants to make all users feel welcome. Do you think digital citizenship is important? Why or why not?: It is significant to have all users feel welcome so they feel apart of the server, not just 'another player'.
Atlas will include users from a variety of age groups. Is it important to treat everyone equally or different? Why or why not?: It is important to treat everyone equal, because you have to think of what would think of what it would be to be in the players position. Giving players advantages or disadvantages seems as an unfair decision, and discrimination would never be allowed.
Method of contact: I prefer to be contacted by my Skype.
Do you have a Skype account?: I do have a Skype account. I will private message an Atlas member the account information if I am accepted.
