Watch Polygon's new Minecraft documentary about the kids rebuilding New York

Polygon released a documentary on New York City public school students using Minecraft Education to imagine and redesign the city.

The film follows the 2025 Battle of the Boroughs tournament from early submissions to the city finals, where students proposed solutions to local challenges.

The next finals are set for May 9 and will be streamed on Twitch.

The story highlights how game-based competition can strengthen teamwork, coding, public speaking, and civic imagination.
