In Big Dig With the Backhoe Loader!, presenter and motorbike racer Grace Webb takes us on a tour of a powerful backhoe loader, a machine with not one, but two digging arms! The backhoe at the back is perfect for digging huge holes, while the loader up front scoops and fills them back up.

Imagine using your favorite game to help save the real world — that’s exactly what these students are doing! At Archbishop Temple School, kids are using Minecraft to recreate rising rivers and dangerous floods in their own town. Then, they design smart solutions like barriers and defenses to stop the water.
This isn’t just playtime — it’s serious problem-solving. By experimenting in a virtual world, students learn how flooding works and how to protect communities from climate change. One student said it best: they’re “learning while playing” and finding ways to help the planet.
Teachers love it too, because games like Minecraft make learning hands-on, fun, and meaningful. In this pilot project, kids aren’t just playing a game — they’re becoming real-life problem solvers who could help save cities in the future.
