This animation focussed on the “Systéme International d’unités” or International System of Units (SI). The objective was to create a fun, 3D animated video that explains what the SI units are, how they are derived, and to “discover” why they are essential in the daily lives of, well … a younger audience!

This fun, animated video targeted children aged 11 to 15 in sub-Saharan Africa. They can “discover” the international SI units – what they are and how they play a role in nearly everything we do. Children can gain a sense of wonder and excitement about the SI units and the fantastic science behind them all.

The production defines the seven base quantities, or fundamental SI units, which are:

• Length – the Metre (m)
• Mass – Kilogramme (kg)
• Time – Second (s)
• Electric Current – Ampere (A)
• Temperature – Kelvin (K)
• Luminosity – Candela
• Amount of a substance = mole (mol)

As is often the case with animated videos of this nature, many adults will also appreciate the content.
