Canadian Nuclear: Interactive Outreach Initiative
The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission has a mandate to educate the Canadian and public on what Nuclear really means in society - applications, history, benefits and risks. CNSC Online was a nascent concept that we implemented as a series of modules that combine 3D animation, 2D illustration, interactive content, simulations, and games. Complex concepts were reinterpreted and distilled into core ideas reinforced by interactivity and made available on desktop and mobile.
