‘I use Europeana as part of a gamified approach to digital archives that enhances creativity in the classroom. Students collect material on Europeana and use it to solve a problem and complete a challenge in the virtual world on Minecraft or in the augmented virtual reality of Mozilla Hubs.’

Our pupils used Europeana’s collections to inspire the design of some robotic sea monsters, as part of an Erasmus+ project for secondary schools called Augmented Age of Inventions. The results are truly original - far from the mainstream manga style that normally influences their art.
