It provides additional information such as the height, weight, diet and habitat of each dinosaur.<\/p>\n<p>Building With Dinosaurs is available across schools globally now. Walking With Dinosaurs, which returned this year after originally debuting 25 years ago, is available to watch on BBC iPlayer in the U.K. and PBS, PBS.org and the\u00a0PBS app in the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re proud to team up with Minecraft Education to give children around the world the chance to interact with iconic dino characters inspired by Walking with Dinosaurs,\u201d said Kirsty Wilson, showrunner of Walking With Dinosaurs. \u201cThis interactive classroom gaming experience lets students step into the world of dinosaurs in a fun and engaging way, learning how these incredible creatures lived and ruled the Earth millions of years ago.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Justin Edwards, director of learning experience at Minecraft Education, added, \u201cMinecraft Education is delighted to bring this amazing dinosaur experience to students.
