Me as a Norwegian fisherman, from our installation at Barnemuseet, Norway's first children's museum. Stop by our booth at ACM Interactivity and #aam2023 to see how you look in fishing gear and other cultural explorations. Special thanks to Lisa Bostwick in Bardufoss Norway.

Getting the word out with highlights from our work at StoryHabitat. Appreciation to Boston Children's Museum for letting us prototype and shoot video in their innovative Tech Kitchen space. https://t.co/fFCrhk7qZz #storyhabitat #musesocial

Great to return to my old stomping grounds at Boston Children's Museum in their Tech Kitchen, testing out ways we can focus on #ClimateResilience in museums through story recording and puppet shows. #storykiosk #storyhabitat #musesocial

Anyone explored Mastodon servers? Looking to find a server that has general orientation to: human development, empathy, tools and technology. Bonus if there are museum folks hanging out there. Any suggestions?

Looking forward to my first AAM conference in a couple years, here in Boston, May 19-22. We'll have a booth, unveiling our StoryHabitat mission and #storykiosk total rebuild during these many months. https://t.co/xJPR8jkdpn

@smanny Likewise! Your lead on Torn From Home created such a connection for empathetic understanding, and is so needed today!

[Brad Larson @techmuse]

Rewarding to be working with the International Institute of New England and their mission to help refugees and immigrants through resettlement, education, and career advancement. #Storykiosk to gather stories of immigrants and refugees. https://t.co/DJz4m8gZKl #storyhabitat

Rewarding to have our #storykiosk installed for the opening of the Howard County Historical Society's exhibit on African American History in Howard County, IN. A community collaboration that involved stories from local churches and historic schools...#storyhabitat #musesocial

Great to meet on our session for ACM Interactivity in May. Potential for museums to work with city and regional planners for positive change. Led by Betsy Loring, with Julia Bland, Joe Cox, and myself (focusing on the role for stories in community planning). See you in St. Louis!

Children's Museum & Theatre of Maine, installation haiku 2/8/22:

The playground outside
snowy and cold gives rise to
the playground inside

Travels up to Portland today to do a staff training at Children's Museum & Theatre of Maine, with a focus on gathering stories of creations in their makerspace and riffing off of an arts and literature theme. #storykiosk #storyhabitat #musesocial

A pleasure to continue our ongoing work with Creative Discovery Museum on sustainable bioproducts. Keep an eye out for the online game and iPad app in the next couple months...

Gathering stories about Durham's food scene for the Museum of Durham History's exhibit on the topic using our online story recording service. Appreciating the ways the Museum is reaching out to community on engaging topics. #storykiosk #storyhabitat #musesocial

Taking special time for mindful breathing and meditative walks during the work day this week. Appreciating the continuing life's work of Thich Nhat Hahn in a connected world. #MindfulnessAtWork

@slowscience Thanks Wendy, Betsy Loring is the lead in putting this together, and we're looking to submit a proposal on museums and local/regional planning for ASTC too. (See you there?)

[Brad Larson @techmuse]

Looking forward to presenting (in person!) at ACM Interactivity in May, our session connecting museums with local/regional planners. My interest: the use of stories in the local/regional planning process. Preliminary program is now available: https://t.co/OF65kUtSTc

[Brad Larson @techmuse]

Had a dream last week I was finally going to my favorite in person conference, ACM Interactivity, but forgot to register. So here's the registration along for this real, in person conference in May in St. Louis. Hope to see you there! (Fingers crossed). https://t.co/RaMU0miVfB

I'm resonating with John Falk's latest work focusing on "well-being" at the heart of museum experiences, with a glimpse at the economic value this provides communities https://t.co/P0tfbZauF8 #musesocial
