Hi, I'm Thomas!

I study Engineering and Arts at the Australian National University. I made this digital resource as part of a course investing the use of digital methods to reimagine historical artifacts.

I decided to focus on the construction of the Snowy Mountains Hydroelectric system because I was fascinated by the impacts this project had on both the technical and social landscape of Australia.

I built this resource using some basic web development skills, resources from the National Archives of Australia and the use of Adobe Illustrator to create each of the character cards in the memory game.

I hope you enjoy using this digital resource! (January 2020)

How to use this resource - for Teachers
The first part of this digital resource is a memory game. There are 10 different cards to match, each card displays an employee of the Snowy Hydro. Each card depicts a cartoon of the 'character' and the typical 'tools' they would have used while working on the Snowy Hydro project.

Users are challenged to match each of the 10 pairs as quickly as possible by clicking on cards to turn them over. Users may only click on two cards in a row. There are 18 different character cards in total, so each user will be playing with a different group of 10 cards in a different arrangement. Every game is different!
If a user discovers a 'match', a popup will appear which contains further information about that particular character. Other than the depiction of the character, all of the information contained in each character card is factual.

After each of the 10 cards has been successfully matched, a button will appear at the bottom of the webpage directing the user to an end of game Quiz. The quiz consists of 10 different questions, matching the 10 character cards that the user previously encountered.
The 10 character cards relating to each users' 10 quiz questions will be displayed at the bottom of the webpage. Although some of the quiz questions may seem a little tricky, there are plenty of hints in the resource to help users answer all of the questions correctly.

If at any point a user is stuck in the quiz, they can hover over and click onto any of the character cards displayed along the bottom of the webpage. Doing this will cause the information popup to appear. All of the answers to the quiz questions can be found in these information popups, with some reading involved!
