Manchester-based edtech experts Computeam have been working with archeologist Dr. Diane Davies and the London Grid for Learning to immerse pupils in the Maya civilization. The company’s library of augmented reality learning resources, specifically those looking at the Mesoamerican civilization, won them a prestigious Primary Digital Content BETT Award in London last month.

The ActiveWorksheets resource, A Journey through the Maya World, is ideal for History, English, Maths, Art and PE lessons. Using this augmented-reality software, pupils can enjoy detailed 3D models of Maya history, such as the famous Calendar. Artefacts such as the Maya flute can even be downloaded from the Computeam website and printed via a 3D printer.
