This paper will outline a pilot initiative in curriculum design with the intention of promoting active education, innovation in digital design and civic service in partnership with the cultural tourism sector. This is a case study in inter-disciplinary collaboration at Galway Mayo Institute of Technology (GMIT) where community service is empowered by linking the academic research of Art History and Software Engineering students with the needs of a local cultural institution, the Galway City Museum (GCM).
