Japanese elementary school students host a virtual graduation in Minecraft while schools are closed due to coronavirus

Numerous schools throughout Japan are closed for the next two weeks due to concerns over the coronavirus. This means some elementary school students out there won't get to attend their graduation ceremonies. Rather than miss out on the fun altogether, some of the students came together to host their own graduation in Minecraft.

The screen above comes straight from one of the virtual graduation ceremonies, which was put together by the students themselves! Pretty cool to see them proudly celebrating their school achievement even when they can't attend school itself. I have a feeling we're going to see a lot more of this in the weeks to come!
