2014: Some Design inspiration for the Grade 8s from the learners of 2013.

 Here is Shayne Laing's example from last year's design.

Remember the shapes can't touch when you are creating a stencil, so Shayne changed her design.  The black areas are where she cut out shapes from the plastic.

"The Mapungubwe Interpretation Centre : The Centre which is built near the main gate of the Mapungubwe National Park won the building of the year competition in 2009 and is home to the famous Golden Rhino. The Centre provides both day and over-night visitors the opportunity of a tour, showcasing the amazing landscape that the National Park has to offer.

Joining Nations: The Iron Age civilization of Mapungubwe was not limited by the Limpopo river and animals have always been able to wander around in the area of present-day South Africa, Botswana and Zimbabwe.
