[sl] Fourth meeting with the U.S. Holcaust Museum Ambassador program

In the fourth program today, we reviewed the idea proposed last meeting and then went into Second Life for inspiration. The Global Kids teen intern, Mercury Metropolitan, prepared a tour itinerary within Second Life, to demonstrate different ways people have build experiences. One of the teen Ambassadors logged into Second Life and showed her computer projected on the screen while the rest of the Ambassadors “back-seat drove” while watching the screen. Mercury joined the conference call and, by TPing the ambassador from location to location, provided the teens with an experience that they reported as being very helpful in thinking about ideas for their own build.

The tour was followed by a brainstorming session to explore ways to use Second Life to add further details to the design document, with the design increasingly focusing on the role of bystanders and contemporary connections. We also explored what sort of assets we can use from the Museum and educational guidelines.

They want people to leave the experience thinking about what a bystander is and with a greater determination to NOT be a bystander in their life.
