What is Nushu: Earthling News in 3d?
NUSHU is a series of adventures about current global issues connecting the news with the curriculum, by using comic strips with Augmented Reality interactions (dialogues with the character and games). This helps students (8 to 12 years old) develop critical thinking about news and global issues. It challenges stereotypes through an alien character and connects with the curriculum with a cross-curricular proposal of activities.
