3D model of the Empire Exhibition
Download the VSim version of the 3D model of the Empire Exhibition here: BEE_1938_Final.vsim This is derived from the original model but has been optimised and some elements (e.g. trees and flags) removed to achieve the lowest possible filesize.
VSim software
VSim is software designed to facilitate use of academically generated three-dimensional models in both formal and informal educational settings. The software and user documentation can be downloaded from https://idre.ucla.edu/research/active-research/vsim/vsim-downloads.

Selected narratives created by pupils
These narratives were created by pupils at the three case-study schools. They have been edited to preserve anonymity where necessary. Some have also been edited to point to embedded resources that are available through this website. This means that you will need a network connection for them to work properly but you will not need to download all the related resources. The narratives are otherwise unedited.
Secondary school, near Hull: These narratives and related materials were produced as part of a 3 day ‘creativity challenge’.
- 9BTeam1: narrative; embedded resources.
