Editing, Publishing, & Writing Interactive Storytelling Content

Story City, like Pokemon Go or Geocaching, but with stories, is the world’s first marketplace and GPS App for location-based stories, with each real-life choose your adventure, puzzle trail, or historical tale through city streets only accessible if you’re standing in the right location. Each story is created by local writers, artists, filmmakers, performers or tour guides who know their cities best. We are looking for 2-3 remote interns to work with us long term (for several projects) as part of the LevelUp program. You will be taking interactive stories and choose your adventures from the Story City platform and adapting them so that they can be played in any city in the world. You will be assigned 2 stories for adaption to ten cities - this will require skills in writing, production and editing, as well as a familiarity with maps and a strong ability for research.

LevelUP - Study the Makerspace Community

The Makerspace will hire two students who are a part of the Library's Makerspace community to explore the following research questions: What attracts users to the Makerspace? What are some characteristics of the Makespace community demographic? How does the community function? How can we encourage and grow the community while increasing the feelings of connection and belonging? How can we make the space more welcoming to those traditionally excluded in academic contexts? Specifically, how can we welcome and encourage members of the disabled, neurodiverse and LGBTQIA2+ communities to feel safe and a sense of belonging within the maker community. Additionally, if there are ways to make the Makerspace more welcoming to people who may feel nervous about their abilities with technology.
