Inventors and Innovators Trail, in Scots
A Project with Queen Anne high school students to investigate the inventions and innovations in carnegie’s life
Students from Queen Anne High School worked with Staff at the Andrew Carnegie Birthplace Museum to hear about a few inventors and innovators which Carnegie embraced and are featured in the Museum’s displays.
With the help of the education team at Historic Environment Scotland, the students translated their understanding of their chosen object into Scots. Media Education then recorded these short statements with images to share with you.
