Molly finsihed up her LLUF story with us this Fall, after a good long stretch dating back to summer of 2018! Molly spent much of her time as a LLUF supporting learning experiences that draw from theatre mechanics.

> "i feel like the work we do at the learning lab has never been more relevant, and the spirit with which the learning lab conducts operations--one of compassion, encouragement, and excitement--never more vital. with every new lluf task, i feel more and more competent navigating the new world of digital media and better understand how it all hangs together."

Molly was deeply involved with [theatreLab](/jRufmUA4RISruYhK1YVQvw) this Fall. Much of her work was in support of assignment design lead by MDF Jessi.

### storyLab projects
Molly documented the very first storyLab meeting!

Molly also did a quick write up of one of our less conventional storyLab meetings:

> **Exploring Mapping in Cambridge Commons!**
> On October 15th, the 50 Church space was out of commission due to a broken HVAC system, so the LL team made some last-minute switches to make sure work could continue efficiently and safely. One such switch was a reinvention of the day’s intended StoryLab programming. Embracing the beautiful weather and opportunity to step out of the office, Jordan devised an impromptu thinksesh for StoryLab LLUFs in Cambridge Commons, complete with picnic blanket, munchies, and—best of all—no masks! (LLUFs were excited to see that Jordan and Marlon do, indeed, have faces.) Being outside in the open air, with the mobility to get around campus and the Cambridge area, seemed like the perfect setting in which to discuss the pedagogical benefits of mapmaking and test out some map-inspired challenges.
A primary goal of the meeting was to experiment with methods for gathering EXIF data, geographical metadata which is necessary for a number of University projects the LL is supporting. LLUFs helped brainstorm tasks for which photographs, with their accompanying EXIF data, might be captured. One idea which seemed promising was to have LLUFs journey to a spot on campus that is noteworthy for some reason to undergraduates. LLUFs took photos of their route intermittently, stopping to document their surroundings, as well as any interesting or characteristic environmental textures, every thirty seconds or so. The activity was not too different from what would be required from students for a project in the works in the History department, remixing “The Harvard Tour” in an equal-parts historical and personal mode, to better communicate the human experiences of the people who have called Harvard home.
