Identified problem space: 

As a Graduate Student Teacher at the Harvard Art Museums advised by Dr. Jennifer Thum, it was observed that high student-to-educator ratios limit staff availability and indivudalized support in autonomous student lessons. 

How can digital interventions enhance
student engagement while preserving the autonomy of self-directed museum learning?

Development Process: 

Work flow:  ideations  - wireframing - prototyping - iterations

Unity, Zappar AR SDK, Figma, Maya, Substance Painter, Premiere Pro

Reflections: 

The Harvard Art Museums is special as I have worked here for 2 years on Dr. Jennifer's team. EdTech combined with XR offers opportunities to not only strengthen museum education engagement but provide dynamic interactions. 

It was amazing to see our project experienced by local high school students (no photo documentation as part of privacy NDA) and see them enjoy the Harvard Art Museums through a new lens!
