Summary

At John Dewey High School in Brooklyn, senior Jayla Mallette and her peers are deeply invested in their Minecraft project, repurposing the Kingsbridge Armory for a city competition. Their enthusiasm is evident as they work late into the night, with their teacher, Mashfiq Ahmed, supporting their dedication. The annual "Battle of the Boroughs" Minecraft competition, which promotes urban planning and community development, has seen Dewey’s team excel, winning multiple titles and advancing to a national competition. The club has not only gained recognition but also inspired students like Jayla to pursue careers in city planning and technology.
