Description: The interactive tale of a girl growing up to become a game designer, Inanimate Alice™ inspires computational thinking, computer science, STEM careers.
Inanimate Alice is a richly-textured and highly detailed coming-of-age tale that grows in the telling and benefits from the application of a vivid imagination. Episodes appear as incidents during the unfolding life of a girl growing up to become a game designer with supplementary materials filling in some of the gaps with further information and fresh storylines that invite student contribution.
Like life itself, this is a work of progressive complexity that has been in classroom service for well over a decade. It describes the progression of multimodal storytelling from simple 2D print emulation to 3D and towards fully immersive experiences. A tale well told and creative inspiration in equal measure, here is a narrative spine on which cross-curricular multi-year education strategies can be built.
This is a story of exploration. An adventure. An immersive experience where young people can let their imaginations roam free.
