River Festival 3-D Project

Help bring our rivers to life at the River Festival with a three-dimensional project.

This project should demonstrate some aspect of life on the river you’ve researched. In addition to the 3-D project, a brief write-up will need to go along with it.

Below are some suggestions:

1. 3-D map
2. Model of a building or a boat as it relates to history of a river
3. Diorama of an event with explanation of the significance
4. Focus on a specific topic regarding your river, such as phosphates, substrate types, etc.
5. Create a board game that is educational for those playing it.
6. Write a song. This may be displayed, performed, or recorded.
7. Create a dance, a play, or infomercial. This would be performed the night of the festival or recorded and played.
8. Create a food dish from the region of your river.
9. Other ideas? Check with Sarah.

DUE DATES:
