Many thanks to ATEC PhD candidate, Mohammed Mizanur Rashid for leading us in an intro to Twine workshop today. Rashid showed us multiple exciting examples of branching narratives and took us through the basics of story models, nodes, and building bridges between them.

Rashid created a resources handout with links available here, or as a downloadable pdf below.
