Interactive 3D: Careers of the Future

Students will have the opportunity to create an outdoor skate park, with connecting themed spaces, like a a wading pool, a green space, an outdoor performance space, and a place to house graffiti and art. Students will apply creativity and visualization techniques that will be transferable to their future learning, including new career pathways into such fields as, urban planning, landscape architecture, environmental design, architecture, installation art, and more.

Let’s talk about science! Fortnite’s awesome physics engine gives students and educators some amazing opportunities to talk about gravity, momentum, kinetic energy, and force while having some fun at the same time. In this project, students will put everything they’ve learned about these concepts to use by building a theme park with rides to demonstrate them.

In this lesson, students will use Twinmotion to design a sustainable neighborhood park for their community. Students will learn about how sustainability can enhance a community's quality of life and promote the responsible management of resources. By the end of this lesson, students will understand how to use Twinmotion to build scenes, import objects, and create environmental effects using built-in tools and assets.

In this lesson, students will be asked to make choices and reflect upon those choices as they build a game. Students will work with a budget that adds a level of real-world experience to their learning. This lesson requires students to think critically about their choices and collaborate with their partners to produce a game that is exciting but stays within their budgets.

Students will have the opportunity to create an outdoor skate park, with connecting themed spaces, such as green spaces, a wading pool, an outdoor performance space, and or a place for graffiti and art to exist. Students will apply creativity and visualization techniques that will be transferable to their future learning, including new career pathways into such fields as, urban planning, landscape architecture, environmental design, architecture, installation art, and more.

History can be even more engaging when you feel part of it! In the virtual history museum project, students will share what they learn about history while navigating an interactive 3D environment built with Unreal Engine.

Did the novel have to end that way? What other narrative possibilities exist? Those are the questions students will explore as they analyze the text, come up with a different ending, and develop an island in Fortnite Creative to act out and record the ending as they envision it. The final product will be a machinima video produced with Fortnite Creative and screen recording software. *Machinima is filmmaking within real-time 3D virtual environments, often appropriated from existing video game engines.

In this lesson, students will be asked to present a counterfactual history. They will select a story or period relevant to their learning, consider alternative scenarios for that story, write a script, and present an alternative reality in Fortnite for their story to unfold. Extension activities abound in this lesson, with the opportunity to use video and audio to take their stories to the next level in game.
