Project YES is unique in the way that it will work with children across several European countries to evaluate the content of the cartoon animation during its entire production phase. School children between the ages of 6 and 8 from Belgium, Bulgaria, Ireland, Italy and Poland will take part in focus groups and questionnaires to provide the animators with their honest feedback on the characters, concepts and messages. This ‘pedagogic evaluation’ will be coordinated by Explora and local children’s museums in each country. The approach will ensure that the final animation resonates with this age range.
The children and their educators will also work with the project team to develop and test a teaching pack which will provide teachers with a tool to practically teach intelligent energy education and give pupils an opportunity to explore energy issues in more detail, and of course have a little fun too! The teaching pack will be available for download on myfriendboo in June 2010

The results from the first questionnaire are now available to download. The museums collected feedback from 473 children in total during this process, and their views are fascinating. This information will now be used by the animators to produce initial characters and story lines. Click here for highlights.
