In the next two months, I have a number of public appearances. Some are in person and some are online. Some are to launch a new tour for my new book on digital design in museums and some are my chance to return to old stomping grounds. Please let me know if I can hope to see you there!
Wed, March 8, 2023 (7:00 PM – 8:00 PM EST) – Games & Education
This Zoom-based chat with long-time friend and collaborator Nick Fortugno is produced by the New York City Museum Roundtable. Nick was lead game designer on many of the games I detailed within my new book Making Dinosaurs Dance: A Toolkit for Digital Design in Museums (MDD). This is a FREE event for anyone who would like to join. We will be exploring (inspired by the book) what it means to develop games in museums with youth in educational programs.

Mon, March 13 (private) AMMH Volunteers
So often in my work at AMNH I relied on the volunteers who provided research support and so much more. I was delighted to have the chance to taut their work in my new book (MDD), and am now even more excited to get to chat with them about it at an upcoming private session. (I still miss overhearing their raucous lunch time conversations in the staff cafeteria).
Mon, April 3 (half day, Washington, D.C.) Workshop at MuseWeb
MuseWeb is the very conference where I first spoke about my project Crime Scene Neanderthal, which unexpectedly led to my new book (MDD). So how cool is it that I now get to return to lead a half-day workshop to teach museum professionals the digital design skills I explore in the book? MuseWeb is also my FAVORITE museum-related conference, so I hope to see you there. To attend the workshop you have to sign up in advance (and those who do will receive a copy of the book). Register here. I will also co-lead How to Develop a Data-driven Strategy with my colleagues from both the Natural History Museum of Utah & Mutually Human. Fun for all!
Thur, April 6 (7:00 pm) Book Release Event!
My new department at NYU – Learning Technology and Experience Design – will be hosting my official book release event for my new book (MDD). I am so excited. And it will be in person, in Brooklyn. And guess who’s invited? YOU of course. I’ll do a short talk, do QA, sign books, etc. If you’d like me to get you on the guest list, please let me know!
Wed, April 12 (private) Boston College
I was delighted when Margaret Wallace invite me to speak about my new book at her Fundamentals of Interactive Media class.
Do you have an opportunity to bring me to talk about the book or run a workshop based on its lessons? If so, let’s chat!
