Innovation Award for Haddonfield’s texting-with-sculptures

Written by bstokes Leave a comment

Congratulations to one of our local partners: the Haddonfield Public Library. They won an innovation award for their story game (“HOST Sculpture Zoo Texting” project). It emerged in part through our national initiative on Engaging Beyond Our Walls (EBOW) and using our Hive Mechanic authoring system. The award comes from the annual New Jersey Library Association Conference, and is specifically an “Innovative Program” award.

They packed a lot of content into their story game. Here is a visual of their interactive flow:
