As we near the end of the school year, the class has been whittled down to only five. The seniors left the class for senior project, so in order to make use of our time in D Block, we are working to create a virtual tour of campus, both online and interactive by walking.
Who wouldn't want a tour of this beautiful community and environment?

Our Goal
The goal that we have set for ourselves, it to focus on a handful of key buildings and places on campus and tell their stories. What makes this building so great? What is the history behind it? What is its key element that the building uses to either reduce energy or use natural resources such as the sun, geothermal, and biomass. Below are photos of a few renewable resources that we use here at Proctor (Solar and Biomass).

Our story
In order to tell Proctor's story, we have included the use of a free app called Aurasma. Aurasma is an app available for both apple and android and it allows the maker to embed an informational video, picture, or link into a background image that can be scan using the camera on your phone.
So, why don't you just download the app on your apple or android store to save yourself the trouble later, It looks like this...

Class Work
For the first two days we had continued to brainstorm and create a map of campus in the order taken by the green key tours. By creating this map, we then assigned each building with a trait of a characteristic that we could focus on.

Each of these buildings, and each system tells a story about the innovation and technology as well as Proctor itself.
Final Mission
Proctor is such an amazing place, Each place and each building tell a different story. We do not want that story to slip through the cracks and be forgotten about.
Come visit us and take the tour on innovation night, May 17th.
