Animation for STEAM Education
As a volunteer for Catchafire, I created the three GIFS below for Kids First Initiative (KFI), a nonprofit organization in Michigan that uses "hands-on activities to teach underserved youth social and 21st Century skills" (https://www.kidsfirstinitiative.org/).
KFI created the concepts for Nancy Nanobots and Malcolm Microchip, two of the characters below. They are superheroes who use their powers for good.
I handled the illustration of the characters. I researched nanobots and microchips and how they worked. I also researched symbols of nanobots and microchips, which I adapted and put on their shirts.
The little girl is Daphne Detector. I created her while doing some Adobe Animate practice at the start of the project.
