iOi at Home | Digital Handheld Cities Part 1

Engage your imagination by creating your own 3D virtual world in our Digital Handheld City activity! In Part 1 of this activity you will go on adventures through exploring scenes in Virtual Reality to inspire your ideas for how you could build your own 3D city! Thinking together about the different ways humans can work together with nature in the way we build the spaces we will live, learn and play in, you will begin building your own Digital Handheld City in the online application CoSpaces.

For this workshop you will need:

• Laptop/tablet
• Internet
• Cardboard VR Headset (optional)
• Smart phone/tablet with the CoSpaces app
