My lightning talk at the useR!2017 conference was R in Minecraft: a five-minute tour of the miner and craft packages and associated book designed to teach kids how to use the R language while manipulating the world of Minecraft. You can see my talk below (starting at the 10:40 mark), and the slides (mostly created in Minecraft) are available for download as well.
Check the rest of that video for some other interesting lighting talks from that session:
