About the Lumen Programme

The Lumen programme offers an alternative approach to teach youngsters about some of the fundamental concepts of energy (with a focus on electricity). It does this by letting them play a modification for the popular computer game Minecraft. In this modification (or mod for short), electrical components, that are physically correct have been implemented. This allow the player to use and play with power in a safe and fun environment, letting them experience the difficulties and challenges in such systems.

To learn the basics in a somewhat structured way, tutorials can (and should ideally) be followed. These start off with explaining the basics of Minecraft itself and gradually increase in complexity. Playing freely with the mod in Creative Mode is of course also supported, allowing you to build a huge range of things with our components.

This mod is still under development for KIC InnoEnergy  by a group of students of the KuLeuven, so the amount of content will still increase dramatically in the nearby future.
