In Spring 2017,<\/strong><\/h1>\n

The Parsons School of Design students worked hard to deliver immersive educational play experiences for the Learning Community Charter School After School VR Storytelling Program, 5th through 8th graders. This VR Storytelling\u00a0collaboration resulted in seven original stories. Mentoring and teaching the LCCS students the elements of story, game design, and game mechanics, the Parsons students transformed the LCCS students\u2019 budding ideas into fully-realized animations, Google and VIVE VR cardboard games, and PC games. The games were showcased at Parsons Playtech 2017, and an LCCS Playtech with guest critics and \u00a0LCCS students.<\/p>\n

Over the course of the semester, the LCCS students learned to engage and collaborate with graduate students to produce creative technology projects. The middle schoolers saw their ideas transformed into games and projects.<\/p>\n

In our second iteration of this studio\u00a0we have pushed seven projects to bounds not previously explored, and we will continue to develop this Collaboration Studio to evolve the mission of\u00a0STEAM-centered (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math)<\/strong><\/a> collaboration between LCCS middle school students and Parsons graduate students.<\/p>\n
