Colleague Testimonial

I've had the pleasure of working with Rob for the past 5 years on Minecraft clubs, and I can't recommend her enough. Her passion for Minecraft is contagious, and her dedication to ensuring tamariki have a positive and fun experience is truly remarkable.
What sets Robyn apart is her ability to create an open and inclusive environment where kids of all backgrounds come together. I've seen firsthand how her clubs rekindle children's enthusiasm for learning, and even more importantly, provide a positive social experience for all including those with unique learning needs.
Robyn's Minecraft club is not just a gaming club; it's a social club where kids can explore, learn, and connect with peers in a welcoming space. It's a fantastic opportunity for any child looking to have a blast while developing valuable problem-solving, social, and real-life skills. -Shary Bakker-Learning Specialist, Christchurch City Libraries

Certified Minecraft Educator

Rob has undertaken training with the Minecraft education training for tutors and earnt her community and teaching certified skills. Rob is very passionate about the game of Minecraft as the students are able to manage their own experience, learn to work with others, and learn about how communities work together to achieve success.

Minecraft is safe

When we run a Minecraft club, Holiday programme, training or event it is within a contained world and there is no access to that world other than the students/participants and the tutor. We have our own devices so students will only need their imagination and thats it!


Owner/Tutor- Rob Lees

Rob worked at Christchurch City Libraries for 24 years, the last 6 years as a Programming Specialist. She was teaching Minecraft, 3d printing, laser cutting, vinyl cutting, robotics, coding, sewing, embroidery, vacumm forming, badge making, and scratch to name a few. She is very good at problem solving and she is used to dealing with any tech issues that you sometimes encounter with Minecraft. Rob loves working with the students and encouraging them to give things a go. There is no right or wrong in Minecraft but there is a huge amount of creativity to be had and enjoyed. Minecraft is so great for spatial awareness, logic, problem solving, communication, collaboration, coding, literacy, maths, science, arts, strategic thinking, creativity, cultural and historical exploration and the nuerodiverse.

Currently teaching at Ilam School, Tuahiwi School, Woodend School and St Martins School in Christchurch.
