Little Owl Construction Co.
Little Owl Construction Co. is a five-person team of graduate students at Carnegie Mellon University’s Entertainment Technology Center. The team is working with ETC Outreach, Extension, and Engagement to build a prototype of a physical interactive platform in collaboration with the Boys and Girls Clubs of Western Pennsylvania to get middle-schoolers interested in higher education in the entertainment technology industry.
By leveraging the design methodologies and team-based learning used at the ETC as inspiration, they aim to create an experience where children can take on interdisciplinary roles and tell a story collaboratively using creative technology.
