Black History Month

Posted on by

February is Black History month! You will research a famous African-American in library, then write a short script about the field he/she is famous for, the time period he/she lived, and the reason why he/she is famous. You will also get a short video of the individual if it is available. We will use the iPads and SketchbookX to draw a portrait of the individual. Next we will bring the portrait into Yakit and record the script. Finally, we will create a gallery of the pictures in the rotunda with an augmented reality component which will display your Yakit and the video creation.
