Start year: 2025

Summary: This project aims to address the lack of representative science content for children by creating animated hybrid documentary science stories for ages 11-12 featuring a diversity of scientists (especially women) as protagonists which can in turn influence STEM career choices. The project expects to generate new knowledge pioneering a new model of science communication translating scientific research visual data into engaging animated narratives, enhancing diversity and scientific visual literacy for children. Outcomes are an education-focused series showcasing diversity for broadcast and the classroom. Benefits include user-tested, science content for students and a lucrative, exportable economic model of practice for Australian filmmakers.
