You! The Experience - Chicago MOSI

YOU! The Experience brings the items that make You You together into an interactive exhibit examining and celebrating the experience of life itself. It is one of the first and largest exhibitions to showcase the connection between the human mind, body and spirit in the 21st century.
As the show writer for the exhibit, I created content for a series of guest experiences. For the Century Club, I interviewed Centenarians across the country to bring their stories to life and interviewed key longevity experts to create compelling media segments. For "Create an Ad" I scripted multiple scenarios and created multiple commercials in which to sell a single product to show how people respond to different advertising tactics. In another series of media stories, I wrote the stories of four individuals who had overcome difficult odds - loss of sight, or limb, or other infirmities to live successful, productive lives.
