--Robert Kosara, Associate Professor of Computer Science at UNC- Charlotte
“Telling stories is an
incredibly effective way of
getting information across
and making sure it sticks”
--Jonah Sachs, Author of winning the Story Wars
“A story takes all the senseless
data that the world provides
and turns it into something
meaningful.”
David Anderson, School of Electrical & Computer Engineering at GA Tech
“Stories convey not only information but
experience and wisdom, and they excite
sympathetic reactions within the listeners
that enable them to apply the learned
concepts to other situations.”
