My son is way into Minecraft. He loves building things and that's his main motivation. We spent some time together the other day and worked on building a piece of architecture in it. We decided to build right over a waterfall and have glass floors.

It's really fun and easy to explore design in, and now he's started to play around in SketchUp. I gave him a few pointers and he's loving it. So I though I'd post a couple of images of our creations for everyone to see.
