#DML2016 friends, help us envision the future of our (and your!) museum teen spaces!
1. Go to Twinery.org and click "Use it online" on the right side.
2. Click "+Story" to create a new game. It's now open in "Edit Mode".
3. Double-click on the first tile and paste the text below:
Title: Start
You are Taylor, a 16-year-old high school student.
[[Start Your Museum Adventure | Adventure]]
4. X out of the tile and see what happens!
5. Now's your chance to build your own story of Taylor's pathway in and out of museum spaces.
In plotting Taylor's journey, consider the following:
- Who is Taylor? What is their motivation?
- What is it that keeps Taylor coming back to the space?
- What pathways can Taylor pursue as a result of their experiences in the museum?
