Digital Palace Explorers: An On-site Storytelling Application for Families at the Tower of London
| Title: | Digital Palace Explorers: An On-site Storytelling Application for Families at the Tower of London |
| Sponsor: | Historic Royal Palaces |
| Sponsor Liaison: | Ina Preugal |
| Student Team: | Julie Cullen, Andrew Feeney, Ilea Graedel, Katherine Whittier |
| Abstract: | Our team adapted key elements of The Palace Explorers Program, an activity that combines online and on-site sessions to teach Key Stage 2 pupils about the Tower of London, to create an on-site, mobile digital application for families. We also provided the Education Department of Historic Royal Palaces a framework for our design process and a template for programming the application so that it could be modified and replicated at other sites overseen by Historic Royal Palaces. |
