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

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.
