Our animation series writers room is in full swing. Great fun working with these talented and accomplished South African writers. Just too many laughs to fit in.

Recognised by kids on the street for being a SuperScientist. Thats the kind of celebrity we want!

Razor wire is no match for this little chameleon. So cool to see one!

Wildlife vet Dr Lufuno Netshitavhadulu at @sanparks Kruger National Park is part of a critical team that manages a park the size of a small country. #biodiversity #wildlifeconservation #wildlifevet

The execution on the cake was ish but the idea of it 👌. A small thanks to the Hidden Hand Studio for all the extra love and time they poured into our animation

We keep not wanting to say science has never been more important yet... We're a #stemeducation org. reimagining scientists & science champions as the superheroes they are. We've reached tens of thousands of young people through our comic, posters & museum exhibit. Our animation short just wrapped!

Disinformation and misinformation are rampant. We have so many good guys in the scientists and champions we've depicted but there are some real bad guys out there. We give you The Washer, The Beguiler, Miss Information, Prince Whatabout, and The Straw Man.

Dr Julia Cisneros @juliamorphology.bsky.social, a geoscientist at Virginia Tech, studies how dunes & other structures (aka bedforms) are sculpted by wind & water. Whether on Mars, protecting the coast or in the fossil record, we want to know how they form & move. 🙏#GeoLatinas for the collab!

Here are some of the same scientists in the post below in their original SuperScientists outfits. Art by Clyde Beech. This is a poster that can be downloaded. A librarian in Germany shared that they had put it up in their town library last week!

Character design for the scientists in their lab coats (it had to happen) Art by Lesego Vorster of the The Hidden Hand Studios. The animated characters look a bit different. It's been fascinating to see how it all comes together. #animation #southafricananimation

Here's some concept art of a #sabretooth cat that will be in the animation. Might they have abilities to travel back in time? They are palaeoscientists afterall. The animation is made with an up and coming studio in Johannesburg, The Hidden Hand Studios. Animation in Africa in general is exploding.

We're making an animation based on the comic we made. This is Buhle (the character) and her voice actor Neli Sosibo.
Buhle goes on a school excursion to the #CradleofHumankind , she goes off path, falls into a cavern and unleashes the power to turn scientists into SuperScientists. It will be cool

We've made lots of different media, this is a #chibi version of Nitro, soon to be Dr Kolisa Sinyanya, an #oceanographer from the University of Cape Town who is in an activity book we made and distributed thousands of copies to kids across South Africa
March 14, 2024 at 2:11 PM
While we're based in South Africa, we've made SuperScientists of people in Kenya, Zambia, Botswana, USA, Uganda, Rwanda/Canada, Ghana and more. This Shamier Magmoet, Deep Blue, an ocean champion from Cape Town and a National Geogrpahic explorer.
