Interactive media important part of the heritage landscape both as a form of storytelling and as a form of exploratory research practice.

The session will take you on a deep dive into interactive media for archaeology and classics and will also provide an opportunity to develop new digital and design skills.  We will focus on collaborative and participatory forms of digital creativity and will look at how digital forms of making can not only create great results but also provide a focus for community building, skills development and inclusion.

In this session you will:
