Digital timeline with embedded oral history audio

Each student builds a digital timeline of a 20th-century event by interviewing a family member or community member who lived through it (or watching an existing oral history recording). The timeline has at least eight events; each event has embedded student-recorded audio of the interview clip alongside textual context.
Each student builds a navigable 3D museum room curating a chosen historical period (e.g. medieval England, the Industrial Revolution, the inter-war period). The room contains at least six exhibit objects (real images placed in 3D space) with interpretive text the visitor reveals on tap. Visitors navigate freely through the room.
Each student builds a Twine branching narrative based on primary sources from a chosen historical event (e.g. the Munich Crisis, the Suez Crisis, the Cuban Missile Crisis). The reader makes decisions at key moments; each decision branch reveals a different primary source the reader must interpret to continue. There must be at least three decision points and four endings.
