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 or a field study.

In addition to the 3-D project, a brief write-up will need to go along with it.

Below are some suggestions:

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

This project may be done alone, with your family or with friend(s) from our core class just make sure to give credit to everyone who helps you out.
