How to download Minecraft: Education Edition free trial - Windows, Mac, and Android

Minecraft has been a franchise on the up ever since it first broke onto the scene in 2009. There are only a handful of brands in gaming as recognizable and beloved as this one, and to achieve that kind of legendary status in the industry is rare.
