“While interning in the Creativity Lab, I used a program called Unity to create a 3D tour of the facilities on offer. I had learned about Unity on my course, but using it in a real-life context was really valuable. It was nice to build up my skills in a low-pressure environment with lots of creative freedom.
My course is unique in that there are many different routes you can take career-wise. My main interest is in creative writing and storytelling. Working with the team, I’ve discovered how my writing can be applied in a modern context. They have helped me to explore technologies that are making an impact on entertainment and screen industries.
There’s a real emphasis on inclusivity – it’s a space for everyone and anyone! My course has quite a small cohort, so it has been a nice opportunity to get to know new people around York.”

“For one of my assessments I decided to produce a virtual reality (VR) exhibition, based on archaeological finds in my department’s collection. I had a vague idea of what I wanted to achieve, but the Creativity Lab team really helped to solidify my plans. I didn’t have much experience with VR, but they guided me through the software and processes I needed to use.
One of the best things about the Lab is interacting with people from different backgrounds who all bring varying perspectives. It started with me just wanting to see what the gadgets were. Now, it’s helping with my networking - I’m getting to know people from all sorts of industries.
I am currently working on my final dissertation project with the team, exploring unique and interesting ways of teaching people about archaeology. They're helping me push the boundaries of science communication!”
