Students will be taught by MSquared Adventures, with Mason Cohen and Miller Croke, members of the local Sag Harbor and Southampton communities respectively. "We are so thrilled to be working with Mason and Miller again this fall," says Tracy Mitchell, Executive Director of Bay Street. "It's so great to be able to support these two terrifically talented high school students as they launch their new business MSquared Adventures, experts in the world of all things Minecraft. Our Community Connections Council (3CO) has worked very hard to bring this type of programming to Bay Street, which supports the local community in every way. It takes a village, and we have one of the best."

Instructors Mason Cohen (9th grader at Pierson) and Miller Croke (9th grader at Southampton) are uber-techy, creative storytellers who together have been creating worlds and hosting private Minecraft events for the past two years.
