“The Sherlock Project”

With instructor Eric Schmiedl

Part crime scene. Part collaborative game. Part exploration of 21st Century storytelling techniques. “The Sherlock Project” is a creative exercise that seeks to find new ways of collaborating and innovating through the process of exploration and discovery. Inspired by the work of the Columbia University School of Arts’ Digital Storytelling Lab, this creative writing session seeks to ignite your imagination through game playing, investigation, and imagination. There will be a murder. There will be a discovery. There will be a whole new story…your story!
