Living Geography: 3D printed volcanoes
http://livinggeography.blogspot.com/2015/08/3d-printed-volcanoes.html
Friday, 7 August 2015. An interesting story on the use of 3D printing. This time, it's with the aim of helping people plot evacuation routes, and appreciate the risks that they face in different areas of the volcano. Been looking at this technology for some time now, and waiting for its appearance at a reasonable cost, for use in the classroom. I've worked on a few projects, most recently the INTEL Internet of Things DISTANCE project, where we made use of it. Posted by Alan Parkinson. EU funded project I...

Monday, 10 August 2015. How to build a city. I was drawn to this article by Stuart Jefferies. In the Guardian's excellent section of articles on cities. I'm also keen on using gaming such as SimCity. And others to explore how cities are created and managed. This is something that goes back many years to some of the early simulation games used in the classroom. I have SimCity 4 on my iMac but sadly little time to explore it. The article provides 20 steps towards building a great city. Suggest to your geog...
