The Project
We produced a series of comic book style sketches for the big BBC Bitesize micro:bit Gladiators competition. The challenge was open to 7-to-11 year olds, inviting them to come up with techy gadget ideas to help the Gladiators be their best, with the help of the BBC micro:bit mini computer. Thousands of primary school kids entered with their fitness gadget designs.
We reimagined the winning micro:bit gadget in a comic book style, complete with a little animated illustration for some extra POW!
We delivered a whopping toolkit of deliverables for print, socials and web. The project was featured on BBC Breakfast on Saturday and Newsround.
How Did We Do
It’s been a pleasure working with you all and thanks for turning round such great illustrations so quickly. The kids actually gasped when they saw their illustration on screen!
