Knowledge Network Partners with Centre for Digital Media to Launch Kids Web Project

Knowledge Kids has more good fun! A new web project has launched at Knowledgekids.ca developed by a great team of students from the Master of Digital Media program at the Centre for Digital Media (CDM).

The interactive experience provides opportunities for kids to learn more about the worlds of Luna, Chip and Inkie, the loveable hosts for Knowledge Kids. During their exploration of the Knowledgekids.ca website young children will discover 'Easter eggs' - hidden elements that bring us inside Luna's observatory, Chip's birdhouse, and Inkie's studio.
