Second Life Interview

Today, we interviewed the Second Life & African American History group, led by BITS program mentor, Liv. The program is based on the African American Landmark Project, which highlights several landmarks, locations, and people throughout the city of Philadelphia through the use of blue signs placed at various sites.




Through their mission of gaining understanding of Philadelphia landmarks, they hope to achieve their goal of creating a virtual simulation of these landmarks through the use of Second Life software.



They plan on choosing and focusing on one specific landmark or area, conducting research on the sites, and documenting and incorporating the information and images into the Second Life program. Today, the group will be visiting the Legendary Blue Horizon and Progress Plaza, located on Broad and Oxford Street.





When asked about the benefits of the program, the students said they were interested in the project because it gives them a chance to learn about their cultural history.
