Water Works for Kids
Dense water-treatment science, made clear without taking the science out.
Challenge
Dense engineering material had to be simplified without losing scientific accuracy for a young, restless audience.
The design response
Decisions before deliverables.
Format followed the learning need, not the other way around.
- 01Break the documentation into small learning segments.
- 02Turn invisible and technical processes into visual explanations.
- 03Create Dewey, a recurring animated guide who makes the journey coherent.
- 04Review every segment with facility experts.
