Heritage project wins innovation prize

Heritage project wins both the public and jury award at the Water Innovation Prize 2014.

The latest research adventure of the 'Foundation Tijdgeest', DePoepfabriek.nl, has won both the public and jury award at the Waterinnovatieprijs 2014. The project has been developed for Hoogheemraadschap Hollands Noorderkwartier and Waag earlier built the web application for the project.

Adventurous learning, living heritage

Aim of this project to create a strong involvement with the subject among pupils. The approach can best be described as 'adventurous learning'. Pupils are dragged into the story and are gathering information in a playful manner, both in the virtual world and in real life.

It all starts with a secret adventure to discover a mysterious object and a hunt for information. All pieces of information are collected on a website. A secure part of the website is accessible for teachers to give online support.
