5:05 - 6:00pm Reception

* On Thursday, 11:30am - 3:15pm My Sky Is Falling (MSiF). This is a 45-minute immersive experience uncovering a dystopian sci-fi tale. Participants are guided throughout the 92YTribeca and surrounding environs, and wear biosensors from the MIT Media Lab. Guided by immersive performances and sensor technologies, My Sky is Falling harnesses technology and story to create empathy for the challenges faced by foster care children. The ending of the experience shows MSiF's roots in the real experiences of foster care.

Designing with instead of for is key to this approach to purposeful storytelling. My Sky is Falling is a Reboot Stories project that was designed with former foster care kids through the NGO Orange Duffel Bag, along with interdisciplinary teams of Columbia University students and data scientists from NPO the Harmony Institute.
