How to find one’s way in space using photos?
How can photos help us recognise our environment and find our bearings? During this workshop, children discover different levels of the representation of a geographic place (satellite view, maps, photos), they identify landmarks and learn how to find their bearings. By creating a treasure hunt, they trace an understandable itinerary on a map. Several photos placed one after the other become a sequence of movements, thus introducing the notions of coding and sequencing.
