BBC Earth has collaborated with Minecraft Worlds and Minecraft Education to launch a gaming experience called Building With Dinosaurs, inspired by Walking With Dinosaurs. Players take on the role of paleontologists, excavating to find dino-blocks to construct models of Spinosaurus, Lusotitan, and Triceratops. A downloadable fact sheet provides educational details about these dinosaurs, including height, weight, diet, and habitat. The experience is available to schools worldwide. The original Walking With Dinosaurs series has returned after 25 years and is available on BBC iPlayer in the U.K. and PBS platforms in the U.S.
