Dr Carlo Fabricatore, Senior Lecturer in Computer Gaming at the University, has been working in partnership with the Museum on the project which aims to encourage students to engage in live projects using gaming for social benefit. He said;
"The Museum is looking to reach out to a new audience, young people who would perhaps not normally consider visiting. Our students are looking at ways of doing this through computer gaming.
It's fantastic for our students to have the chance to work on a live project with such relevant aims and to have to fulfil the requirements of a real client."
Museum staff have been working with the University students on this project and have visited them to see the various projects in progress and also give their comments. Museum Director, Cathy Sloan, said;
"This would be a fantastic resource for the Museum. It's great to be working in collaboration with the University and its students on this project."
