MSU Museum Taking Applications for Knowing Nature Gaming Residency

The MSU Museum CoLab Studio, a division for innovation and experimentation, is seeking applications for a student residency focused on experimenting with gaming in MSU Museum exhibitions. A team of students will be selected to focus on designing a game to be part of the Smithsonian SITES exhibition “Knowing Nature: Stories of the Boreal Forest.” Opening in April 2023, the MSU Museum is the first venue in the nation to host this exhibition, which focuses on the biodiversity and global importance of our northern-most forests. Outcomes of the residency work have the potential to travel to other Smithsonian-affiliated museums as part of the exhibition content.  

The residency will run from November 2022 to May 2023, and both undergraduate and graduate students are eligible to apply. Students can submit their application by completing the Qualtrics application form. Deadline for applications is October 21, 2022.
