The Summer School will focus on how cultural heritage venues and sites can harness creative technology to design and curate new experiences for audiences to story tell, inform, educate, and entertain regarding their cultural heritage artifacts/historical sites and their digital twins of collections. The Summer School will allow its participants to explore the potential of creative technology in designing and curating innovative experiences for cultural heritage. Key elements of the Summer School are expert-led practice-based sessions which will provide participants with a solid foundation of knowledge and inspire them to think creatively about the possibilities of incorporating technology in cultural heritage contexts and collaborative projects on using XR technology to enhance cultural heritage experiences. These projects will challenge participants to think critically, apply their knowledge, and develop tangible solutions that address specific audience needs and engagement goals.
