My projected is a Rahui that I think is a must. Here is how I made it, note I am making mine super basic fot the lesson.
In my project I have taken into consideration poisons from farmers that pass into the Awa and from there it flows into the Moana. (This is just an example, there is no proof that there are any poisons that have affected the whenua.)
- The white markings is the area.
- Blue is the connection from poisons to the sea.
- Red X marker on Robin Hood is clickable option for more content.
- Red Poison marker is for clickable content on poisons etc.
Above is where your project is going to be brought to life, Click the (burger icon) at the top, then click on ‘Projects’.
Add in your project, it can be weird to navigate at the beginning or getting use to the dimensions and handling so mu details are here.
