Re-posted from OllieBray.com: This would be a great and real project to do with a class of young people (any anyone who was interested) between now and the end of February 2012.

The Google Model Your Town Competition is about geo-modeling – making photo-textured models of real-life buildings that appear in Google Earth. It is open to people all over the world – last year the winner was from Lima, Peru.

Making 3D models is easy using Google SketchUp or Google Building Maker and you can find out more about creating 3D models by looking a Google’s Your World in 3D Pages.

More information about the completion in the YouTube Video at OllieBray.com.
