Event Description

Please join us for a presentation by the LITS Research and Instructional Design Tutors. 

Learn how Creative and Academic Technology Tutors (CATTs) and Interns bring the maker mentality to life by designing interactive puzzles and costumes for their biannual library escape room. Join us for an engaging presentation where the creators share their hands-on design process, problem-solving strategies, and practical tips for building immersive events. 

"Further Reading: America 250 and Hamilton College," created by the LITS Research Tutors and Interns, was inspired by the Archives and Special Collections Exhibit in Burke Library.  This exhibit celebrates the 250th anniversary of the United States Declaration of Independence and Hamilton College's interwoven history.  The "Further Reading" guide supports interest in the exhibit's topics by providing additional sources to explore.

The Data Science Tutors celebrated America’s 250th anniversary by turning public data into interactive maps of the nation’s population, prices, health, economy, and elections. The tutors will share their design process, what the data reveal about a changing America, and practical tips for building engaging data visualizations. 

Lunch will be served.
