Children’s Media
Medium depends on audience and goal.
Video is passive; reaches large audience and feelings
are remembered. Suitable for inspiration.
Print is engaging; reaches a smaller audience with
more intensity. Suitable for imparting facts.
Digital is accessible; reaches a mainstream audience
of tech-savvy young generation, can even attract
‘reluctant’ readers.
Dissemination
Space Scoop is versatile, can be converted to a wide
range of mediums, to reach a broad audience: different
ages, visually-impaired, illiterate, no internet access, etc.

PRINT (magazines, web articles, etc.) - Scientific
facts
ORAL (podcast, etc. ) - Informal, friendly style
VISUAL (video podcast, etc. ) - Stunning, high-quality
visuals
