✅ Progress so far

🤔 Stage 1: Empathize and Define

Previously, of course we wanted to keep this more or less low-key, and thus were in early empathize/define stages, bringing seniors in 1:1 and asking what they would like to see.

We have since scoped out:

• The schedule for the night; and
• The first two of three "events" that will take place during the two hours

🏗 Stage 2: Ideate and Refine

At this stage, we are hard at work building the first iterations, and ‣, head of building for d.craft, has been leading the team in creating the main setting for graduation—outside, on the grass, as if we were in real life—and the first event, so far.

🤩 Stage 3: Prototype, Rehearsal, and Showtime

Now that it has been officially announced to the school that this is in the works, we'll be taking a lot more input in the coming week or so as we work to put everything together and rehearse.

Of course, there are many aspects around this—d.craft special commencement speeches, timing, publicity, etc.—and we should have full transparency. If you have any questions at all, definitely let me know and I'll get back to you on that.

Thank you everyone for putting faith in myself, Joss, and our great team for putting this project together and designing an experience no one has ever seen before. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!
