Five students – Xin Chen, Dongyu Liu, Riri Haruka, Jiongxin Wang and Ankit Khokhra – from the Master of Design cohort have been working with Zoos Victoria to create an immersive and engaging experience for primary school students, focusing on five local Australian species. The design outcome features unique craft-based learning and augmented reality experience that Zoos Victoria will be rolling out state-wide later this year.

Helping create an understanding of the species local environment and the unique characteristics of the five animals, the Tassie Devil, Southern Bent Winged Bat, Brushed Tailed Rock Wallaby, Helmeted Honey Eater and Eastern Barred Bandicoot. The design outcome will be a featured education resource for the Zoo and part of their Love Your Locals campaign.

Congratulations to students Xin Chen, Dongyu Liu, Riri Haruka, Jiongxin Wang and Ankit Khokhra, and staff Jeff Janet, Nao Hayakawa and Dr Debbie Symons for developing this project to market.
