Rebuilding Communities
Reclaiming the histories of African American communities one structure at a time.
Welcome
Welcome to Rebuilding Communities (RBC) a digital project-based learning curriculum geared towards eighth-grade students that combines the humanities and digital engineering to provide students with a better understanding of southern African American history.
In this semester-long project, students will use primary and secondary sources to build structures located in the historic African American district of Waverly in Columbia, South Carolina using Google's SketchUp: 3-D Modeling Software.
If you're interested in our program and would like detailed information about RBC please read our Educator Guide. If you decide to implement RBC in your classroom please share your experiences by filling out our form on our contact page.
