Story Lab

I was lucky enough to spend two days of the school holidays at the amazing State Library of Queensland running Story Lab digital storytelling workshops with 9-16 year-olds. We used digital cameras, Story Scrapbook app and Shaun Tan’s Odditoreum exhibition for creative inspiration. I worked with some seriously talented young writers who took on their role as story scientists with energy and diligence. Here are the pics…

The Odditoreum is a collection of unusual objects retrieved from the bowels of Sydney’s Powerhouse Museum, an exhibition curated by author /illustrator Shaun Tan. We used the exhibition for writing inspiration.
Um.

We embarked on a digital photography adventure, gathering images for story inspiration.

We also used Story Scrapbook app to gather images, video, music web grabs and text in the brainstorming of our stories. (App available free here.)
