CHILD NATON is an innovative digital platform developed by Jessica for children aged 7 to 11 years. Its interactive stories use children’s own ideas whilst guiding them through personalised and immersive experiences of the real world around them.
Each adventure in the large and growing collection, helps children tap into their imaginative capabilities, celebrating their quirky creative ideas, and giving them permission to be themselves.
Conversational text prompts physical exploration and, as they wander, they enter answers to simple questions which are used to personalised a story-like experience. The adventures each incorporate different art forms and result in diverse and unexpected outcomes.
Children enter an uninhibited imaginative zone to see their places and themselves differently from the conventional perspectives of the adults around them.
The Child Nation world is entered using an internet enabled device, via QR on alluring signage in parks and libraries, or via a special collection in schools.
