St Clare’s College has been invited by Questacon to participate in The National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation (Miraikan) “Picture of Happiness on Earth” project. Students in Years 7 & 8 studying Digital Technologies are taking part in the TSUNAGARI project, a word which means connection.

The project runs in cooperation with Miraikan, Bloomberg and Questacon. Students will participate in a series of incursions conducted by staff from Questacon in order to investigate what happiness on our Earth looks like to our students as they use and analyse existing credible data sets from around the world.

By the end of the project students will have created a short 5-10 minute film that will be uploaded to YouTube for community voting. The winning entry receives a prize to travel to Miraikan in Tokyo.

Students will be able to present the group’s work and consult with staff from the museum as they create an installation using the group’s findings. The installation will be shown on the Tsunagari globe in the foyer of the museum. To see a preview of the museum visit https://www.miraikan.jst.go.jp/en/exhibition/tsunagari/

Miraikan aims to bring about new ways of connecting people with the knowledge of how our planet works and how we work. The project progress is being documented from around the world by using #miraikan_happy hashtag.
