Producing the Mukago Series Through Project-Based Learning

This presentation explores how to build a 3D animation team using project-based learning—specifically through producing Mukago, a local Ugandan children's series inspired by African games and STEAM education. In the series, students apply classroom knowledge to solve everyday community problems. With few animation skills available locally, this produce-while-training model helps studios establish their pipeline from day one, grow sustainably, and develop creative talent on the job.
