June 1, 2012

The first three seed funded research projects were announced on June 1, 2012. The awarded projects were: "Virtual Opera" led by the Opera Company of Philadelphia with the Curtis Institute of Music; "Cerebral Palsy Rehabilitation Gaming" led by Drexel University Antoinette Westphal College of Media Arts & Design with the School of Biomedical Engineering and the College of Nursing and Health Professions; and "Sonic City" led by Neighborhood Narratives Project with Breadboard, Azavea, and Drexel University Goodwin School of Education. These projects were selected from a pool responding to a solicitation for new collaborative projects that would have $5000 for supporting the development of their work. A showcase of the research is anticipated in the Fall of 2012.
