walkthrough of virtual Lewes

As designed by the kids of Lewes this walkthrough shows their ideas which were developed through the workshop process. These range from green energy and outdoor recreation facilities that make use of the river, entertainment and work/live units. Issues addressed were speeding, affordable housing, wildlife conservation and well-being.

Our graduate enterprise and collaborators Blockbuilders use Minecraft create to help create visions which can be gamified and adapted by other groups.

School workshops engaged pupils about local politics and planning through technology.
