started as a capstone project that seeks to raise awareness among children and adults about child sexual abuse and its prevention turned to actual CSAP material and campaign. The goal of the project is to educate children aged 7 to 12 and their guardians (parents, teachers, individuals who frequently interact with children, and other adults responsible for their care) about self-protection strategies and body safety through a digital campaign and a digital, nonlinear interactive storybook.
A Digital Nonlinear Interactive Storybook
"I Have Powers, Too!" is a digital, interactive, children's storybook that follows the stories of three different children as they face various situations of child sexual abuse.The stories will explore the themes of CSA and its prevention, teaching children important self-protection strategies that they can use to prevent themselves from getting into potential sexual abuse, as well as what to do when they are already in such situations.
All chapters will have branching narratives, each having choices in significant parts of the story for the readers to select how they would want to progress through the narrative. The decision-making feature of the storybook exercises the most important part of combating child sexual abuse - breaking through the barrier of fear and choosing to tell trusted adults of what is happening.
The storybook will be fully illustrated, with each page having visuals with minor use of animation. The storybook will also have sound effects to accompany the visuals to make a more interactive experience, and an option for narration.
