The Science Cartoons (SciToons) program was developed to engage STEM and non-STEM students and faculty in the creation of science animation for YouTube. The SciToons model is a new approach for communicating scientific research and concepts to a broad audience via storytelling, animation, high-quality multimedia and art. SciToons are interdisciplinary, and leverage the strength of Brown researchers and undergraduates for the stories and animations.
