Life Without STEM
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
About the Project
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.
