Alumni Stories: Harvard Law School Storykiosk Project

Alumni Stories: Harvard Law School Storykiosk Project

When an organization has a major anniversary, such as Harvard Law School’s Bicentennial, a window of opportunity opens to draw out stories spanning decades of experience. With Harvard Law School (HLS), we provided a portable Storykiosk to set up at alumni gatherings and other special events such as the HLS Celebration of Black Alumni.

Community Storytelling: celebrating institutional anniversaries with stories

Community Storytelling: celebrating institutional anniversaries with stories

I wrote about “community storytelling” a couple years ago for a presentation at SEGD, and I’m still working through that intriguing phrase.  At the time, I focused on special events, such as institutional anniversary celebrations, as a hub for gathering stories. So we created a portable Storykiosk with 42 Design Fab for recording stories at popup events and celebrations. Now we’re adding a major new tool: an online...

Museumhive: a new approach to community content

Museumhive: a new approach to community content

I’m pleased to say that a proposal I wrote with NEMA to IMLS (Institute of Museum and Library Services) was selected for funding, and we’re proceeding with what I think is a new toolset for museums to reach out to communities.

When your software is featured on This American Life…

I had a fun experience last week, driving along listening the always engaging public radio show This American Life hosted by Ira Glass.
