Otherworld Media intends to launch an online platform for school age children to engage multiple literacy skills while deepening comprehension and developing imagination. The final project will be a guide for parents and educators to encourage the self education of young learners. A growing body of research points to the need for young children to use safe search strategies. The goal is to give children, especially BIPOC, access to counter storytelling narratives, and regain control over their own education. Children will then grow into better educated and more well rounded adults with strong skills in self determination and self advocacy.
