3 Dimensional Project Requirements
The 3 dimensional project is another part of teaching people about your topic and drawing their interest to your display.

1. It may be art based, such as a sculpture, a scene, or a replica of an artifact from the period of time or place. There are many other ideas as well. Some examples include a sculpture of a person, a scene showing life in a particular place or time period, a replica of a shield, pottery or some other object that might have importance in your topic.

2. A demonstration of something: For example, someone studying writing might want to demonstrate the different types of materials on which people wrote.

3. An interactive project: For example, create a game that teaches people about your topic. Think about the many kinds of displays you see in museums for ideas.
