History Hooks: Ideas for teaching history

New Dimensions in Heritage

A cross-curriculum project that involves I.T visual arts, history and critical and design thinking.

In 2016, the National Trust of South Australia teamed up with Makers Empire and students from Sturt Street Community School to use 3D modelling software to explore and appreciate heritage architecture and design.

This video captures the essence of the project. Take inspiration from it and adapt the program to meet your needs. Models can be made using 3D software or plasticine.
