Meet the Founders
Clean Minecraft Videos is owned, managed, updated, and funded entirely by two high-school Sophomore students, Mitchell Brown and Scotty Vrablik. The company started over four years ago in the summer of 2013 - when Mitchell and Scotty were only 11 years old.

Scotty and Mitchell are honor-roll students at Carmel Catholic High School in Mundelein, Illinois, and graduates of Quest Academy in Palatine, Illinois. Both schools have tremendously supported their endeavors and helped them better understand entrepreneurship, coding, and web development.

​Early-on in their journey as young entrepreneurs, the two boys received incredible opportunities such as receiving praise from industry-professional Ms. Jane McGonigal and an article in the Chicago Tribune.

The Inspiration
In early 2013, Mitchell's younger brother, Grant, who was 7-years old at the time, was watching a Minecraft video on YouTube. Within a few minutes of the video's introduction, the content creator, or "YouTuber", began cussing. Knowing that Minecraft is a family-friendly, cuss-free video game, Mitchell requested that his brother

changed the video. Within two minutes of the next video, the same scenario unfolded.
​The same night, Mitchell decided to create a basic website with a few appropriate Minecraft videos for his brother's viewing enjoyment... and his peace-of-mind that his brother is not picking up inappropriate language.

Very shortly after, Mitchell realized that he could offer such a service to a larger audience, and he invited Scotty to join him in the development process.

Original Development
Clean Minecraft Videos' original mobile app for Android Google Play was published in March of 2014, offering 100 Minecraft​ videos from three content creators. A publicly accessible website was published on June 11, 2014, offering the same features and videos as the Android app.

An Apple app for iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch was in development for several years, and eventually published on August 30, 2016.

Awards & Recognitions
Throughout the past three years of Scotty and Mitchell's journey of operating a company, they have received several significant notable recognitions from industry professionals and nationally-accredited education technology conferences.

Game developer and technology advocate Ms. Jane McGonigal says "these two young entrepreneurs are clearly using their gameful powers for good...very impressive!"

Public speaker and school district superintendent Dr. Joe Sanfelippo notes Scotty and Mitchell as "great kids making a difference."

The two students have also developed strong connections with public technology figures Mrs. Rafranz Davis, Mr. Daniel Rezac, Ms. Jennie Magiera, Ms. Angela Maiers, and Mr. Adam Bellow.

In addition to receiving several pieces of advice and encouragement from professionals, Scotty and Mitchell have also served as Keynote speakers at the Students Involved with Technology (SIT) Conference every year since

2016, as well as at Google Chicago in February of 2017. They have also presented at nationally-accredited technology conferences, including the Illinois Computing Educators (ICE) Conference, School Leaders Advancing Technology in Education (SLATE) Conference, Future of Education Technology Conference (FETC), and received invitation from the Illinois Education and Technology Conference (IETC). Scotty and Mitchell served as all-day exhibitors at the Palatine Mini Maker Faire, Milwaukee Maker Faire for two consecutive years, and National Maker Faire: Chicago. The two entrepreneurs have also promoted Clean Minecraft Videos through the Barrington Fourth of July Parade every year since 2014.
