How does this work contribute to Seeing Science Differently?
This case study is about the use of cartoon-like whiteboard style animation videos for science communication. This is an innovative and certainly “different” way of communicating science, that proved to be effective with both adults and kids. The friendly cartoonish style makes even the driest scientific topic approachable. Furthermore, research has shown that whiteboard videos are more engaging and produce better learning outcomes than traditional talking head videos.
