Life Without STEM - Interactive Science History
Animated educational experience for Siemens exploring how STEM innovations transformed modern life through five interactive scenarios.
Interactive exploration showing the transformative impact of STEM fields
I served as both programmer and animator for this comprehensive Siemens educational project, creating an animation-heavy interactive experience in Construct 2. The project explores five key areas where STEM innovations transformed daily life: health, warmth and entertainment, communication, and travel safety. I handled all character and prop animation using provided artwork, including complex workflows involving Adobe Illustrator for artwork preparation, Spriter for bone-based character animation, and direct animation frame creation. The final HTML5-compatible experience demonstrates how scientific discoveries and engineering developments have fundamentally improved human living conditions.
