Work Plan
Earlier ideas for this project fell into two categories of interest: (1) a gamified experience of the Library's Free to Use and Reuse Collection and (2) a collage tool that would allow for artistic exploration of the Library's Free to Use and Reuse Collection.
This project will combine both of these ideas, in which there will be a "flat" gamified narrative and activity component that the user will have to play/walkthrough to get to the collage aspect of the game. In other words, the user's end goal is the collage.
Here is an example of the sort of "flat" gaming experience we are thinking about.
Here is a brief scenario to demonstrate:
Screen prompt: On a dark and stormy night, {supervillain we create} enters the museum and swipes all the hats from the paintings!
...Later in the game...
Screen prompt: Someone stole Jackie Robinson's hat! Complete the following puzzle to help him get it back.
...Later in the game...
Screen prompt: Congratulations! You've found Jackie Robinson's hat! Screen Prompt: You've unlocked Front cover of Jackie Robinson comic book. You can now wear Jackie Robinson's hat.
...Later in the game...
Using image segmentation, user can dress their avatar in Jackie Robinson's hat.
End of demo.
The goal is to have students learn about a given image's historical framing. The collage aspect provides an end goal that entices participation, while the gamified/puzzle aspect ensures interaction with the material in a meaningful way.
The project will be broken into three main phases. Phase one and two are somewhat simultaneous. While building the image segmentation and avatar aspect of the deliverable, we will brainstorm the narrative surrounding the game.

Describe in a few sentences what will be created this summer and how this dataset/collection will be made more accessible/understandable/usable. You can include visual aids.
Describe the audience(s) that this project will focus on. Be as specific as possible. Describe possible strategies for connecting and learning about this audience. Link to the data pack -- with the potential to incorporate more photos of figures based on civic direction.
We would center this about the specific audience... play through the collection and collect attributes for your avatar
List the (possible) technologies that you will use for this project. Provide a link, a description of the technology, and how it will be used.
List the major milestones, and a brief description and due date for each. Note that major deliverables should be complete by around week 8 (~July 12) to ensure enough time for Display Day prep and offboarding activities
