ANTHROPOCENE
Education Project

Anthropocene is the proposed current geological epoch, in which humans are the primary cause of unprecedented and permanent planetary change. From buying and consuming food, to putting plastic packaging in the trash, to purchasing fast fashion clothing, most of us are unaware of our everyday common activities that place a demand on nature. Designed for Canadian students, The Anthropocene Education Program incorporates augmented and virtual reality, interactive art and film to teach just how humans are changing Earth’s natural systems.

Should I get my flu shot and why is it important? In this collection of interactive stories, the choice is yours.

Cicada produced a series of interactive scenarios where learners choose from a collection of demographically diverse personas and decide whether or not they get the flu vaccination. Programmed with historic statistics and supported by current data, the story continues through a simulated flu season. Background code will ultimately determine the outcome and demonstrate the importance of getting the shot.

App design for the Emergency Department for rapid and safe AAF and AAFL management.

Taking the Reef Rescue
documentary to new depths

Coral bleaching is a global epidemic that reduces vibrant and thriving reefs to rubble. Scientists are racing to develop solutions in an effort to rescue and rebuild dead and dying reefs all over the world.
