Animating Ancient Assyria: Teen Saturdays Workshop
November 9 @ 1:00 pm - 3:30 pm
Take a time machine to an ancient Assyrian royal palace! In this workshop, teens will be introduced to augmented reality using Snapchat features to overlay digital content on exhibits.
Explore art from 640 BCE that depicts royal victories, lion hunts, epic battles, and ancient rituals. Watch stone monuments spring to life with color and movement. Through activities, teens will decide what other exhibits should get the Snapchat lens treatment.
Teen Saturdays Workshops are designed to build community and improve the museum experience for multicultural and Spanish-speaking teens. Workshops are presented bilingually in Spanish and English. Snacks provided!
$10 fee includes free admission to all HMSC museums following the workshop.
Teens in high school, ages 14–18, receive a free admission pass (worth $15) for a return visit if they attend one of the sessions.
Bring a smartphone. A limited number of tablets will be available for loan. Make a note on your registration form if you want to borrow one.
Advance registration required by Friday, November 8.
