Every year, 6 million children across South and Latin America are burned from exposure to open flames, hot objects or fireworks. COANIQUEM, a nonprofit medical treatment center that provides free holistic treatment for burn survivors across South and Latin America, is challenging ArtCenter students to create new multi-media strategies for burn prevention messaging for children. In this studio, students will work together in transdisciplinary teams to build new worlds for burn prevention messaging, creating characters, environments, rules and stories. Students will let their concepts guide them to the best media to tell their story, whether through games, animated series, children's books, or other media. Stakeholders from COANIQUEM, experts on child development and professionals working in entertainment and media will join the studio to provide their expertise and guidance as students work towards a final delivery of a visual proof of concept for effective and entertaining childhood burn prevention messages. This project is part of a 10-year partnership between COANIQUEM and Designmatters at ArtCenter.
