A developing global crisis could have serious implications on our food security and biodiversity for generations to come. Pollinators are they key agent in randomly delivering genetic material to plants, but a number of issues including climate change, colony collapse disorder, pollinator food source, urban development, etc is affecting this natural phenomenon.

Imagine you live in the Woodstock area and have nearby crops that rely on pollination, but pollinators are disappearing at a rapid pace. What will happen in the future if we don’t have pollinators in this region? Imagine how our community, ecology, and way of life will change without these key participants. We will look at how these cultural changes are going to affect humans in the near and distant future and produce animations to tell these stories. Students will learn Adobe After Effects and animation techniques in order to produce an augmented reality (AR) of this possible future.
