SUMMARY:Co-op Mode – Create a Video Game with the Power of Play
DESCRIPTION:Co-op Mode combines play personalities with video game creation. Participants will learn about the different ways people engage with play by completing hands-on activities that each produce a component of a real video game. \nWe’ll kick things off with self-discovery using Dr. Stuart Brown’s 8 Play Personalities to explore how you naturally engage with curiosity\, connection\, problem-solving\, and collaboration. We’ll look at play as a mindset (not just an activity) and how understanding your “play nature” can help teams communicate better\, build trust faster\, and create a more energized team culture. \nWe’ll then assign 1-2 people per play personality to tackle a unique task. The whole group will work together around a selected theme for their game to create something unique. By the end\, all the pieces come together into a simple\, playable web-based game that is unique to the group that creates it. Co-op Mode is designed for anyone curious about tech\, creativity\, and play. No coding or game development experience is required. Attendees will walk away learning more about play and videogames\, as well as a collaboratively created game they can play themselves and share with others. \n \n  \n

SUMMARY:Dimensions in Testimony with Holocaust Survivors (English)
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to take part in a Dimensions in Testimony experience to learn first-hand how technology can enhance the human experience and change the lens through which we see the world. \nThe Dimensions in Testimony experience enables people to ask questions that prompt real‐time responses from pre‐recorded video interviews with Holocaust survivors and other witnesses to genocide. Developed by USC Shoah Foundation\, and adapted by the Canadian Museum for Human Rights\, the pioneering project integrates advanced filming techniques\, specialized display technologies and next generation natural language processing to create an interactive biography. \nAt the Museum\, the Dimensions in Testimony experience demonstrates how adapted technology can create deep social impact\, While the Canadian Museum for Human Rights did not invent the technology\, our implementation is where transformation occurs. The Canadian Museum for Human Rights is the first museum in Canada to bring this experience to the public\, embedding it into our human rights education mandate\, curating the experience for emotional resonance\, ensuring accessibility and contextualizing it as a living dialogue with memory. The approach turns a traditional gallery into an interactive learning space where dialogue drives understanding. Instead of passively listening\, students and visitors shape their own learning through their questions – an approach that nurtures curiosity\, agency and empathy. \nNow and far into the future\, museum‐goers\, students and others can have what feels like conversational interactions with eyewitnesses to history to get their point of view. \nThrough Dimensions in Testimony at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights\, visitors can engage with the stories of two Canadians who survived the Holocaust. Pinchas Gutter answers in English\, vividly recalling his time in Nazi concentration camps and what came next. Marguerite Élias Quddus answers in French\, sharing her story of surviving the Holocaust by hiding her Jewish identity. \nPurchase your ticket for a Dimensions in Testimony experience\, specially priced for Mb Tech Week 2026. Limited spaces available! \nPrices include full Museum access:\n• Adults: $16.50 (regular $22)\n• Youth (7-17 years): $7.50 (regular $10)\n• Seniors (65+): $12.75 (regular $17)\n• Indigenous Peoples: Always Free\n• Children (6 and under): Always Free

SUMMARY:« Dimensions in Testimony » avec des survivant·e·s de l’Holocauste
DESCRIPTION:Nous vous invitons à participer à l’expérience « Dimensions in Testimony » afin de découvrir par vous-même comment la technologie peut améliorer l’expérience humaine et changer notre vision du monde. \nL’expérience « Dimensions in Testimony » permet aux gens de poser des questions qui suscitent des réponses en temps réel à partir d’entretiens vidéo préenregistrés avec des survivant·e·s de l’Holocauste et d’autres témoins de génocides. Conçu par la USC Shoah Foundation et adapté par le Musée canadien pour les droits de la personne\, ce projet novateur intègre des techniques de tournage avancées\, des technologies d’affichage spécialisées et un traitement du langage naturel de nouvelle génération pour créer une biographie interactive. \nAu Musée\, l’expérience « Dimensions in Testimony » démontre comment une technologie adaptée peut avoir un impact social profond. Bien que le Musée canadien pour les droits de la personne n’ait pas inventé cette technologie\, c’est notre mise en œuvre qui permet la transformation.
