Taipei, Oct. 3 (CNA) Taiwan's National Tsing Hua University (NTHU)
unveiled Monday a series of 3D science animations featuring aboriginal
characters and themes with the aim of fostering science education
among the nation's indigenous children. The seven animations, produced
by a local team of more than 100 artists, tribal people, musicians,
scientists and science teachers over a period of five years, and
partly funded by the National Science Council, are voiced in the
Atayal tribal language and portray a vivid picture of aboriginal
people in the 1940s and 50s, as well as the world as seen from the
perspectives of four Atayal children.
