In this cutting edge of new technology, Prestige Club has partnered with IA technologies, a tech firm that makes WOW happen! This unique program introduces elementary and middle school students to intelligent art 3D programs. Our volunteers are provided with the 3D IA book, which is a digital 3D book with a quick link to smart phones or tablets. The book is based on Wild Animals written by Chris White of IA Technologies and produced in the City of Miami’s MetroZoo.
The first hour of the program is a comprehensive class on research. Then, the children learn how to use the quick link to activate the 3D feature in the book. The pictures come to life before their eyes! They hear as they read the geographical places the animals are from and they are encouraged to feed the animals a variety of foods through the 3D feature. The animals actually respond through the 3D screen.
The second portion is 30 minutes of real live wild animal experiences with the children. The wildlife expert brings his unusual wild animals to the location for the children to see, touch, and experience. Seeing animals up close and learning about their needs teaches compassion for life. Our goal is to increase the students’ knowledge of technologies and their compassion for all living things.
