Project Details
- The CreANIMate program teaches elementary school children about animals and how they survive in the wild.
- Children create new animals by modifying existing animals in a new way (e.g., a bee with a large nose). Once proposed, the program initiates a dialog accompanied by video of actual animals to illustrate relevant principles.
- The lessons explore the relationship between the physical features of animals and they way those features help survival in their environments.
