[INTERN] Paid Summer Intern, Installation at Children’s Museum

Hello ITP’ers.  Hope your summer is off to a good start.  I realize this is reaching you later than normal but I am collaborating on a cool project with fellow alumni for a children’s museum and we are in need of a summer intern.  It’s PAID!!!  Super cool project, technically challenging, but would be a great portfolio piece by the end of summer.

Read below for the details but while experience with sensors and mapping is helpful, much of the initial heavy lifting is on content creation, thus a solid After Effects person is a must.   Once again, you’ll have exposure to all sides of this project though.
