Abstract

This presentation presents the third part of a series of 3D animations for indigenous science learning called Petlaman. To our knowledge, this series of animations is the world’s first 3D animated science education film to focus on indigenous culture. Petlaman means “test” or “try it” in the Atayal language. The Atayal are one of the 13 indigenous tribes in Taiwan. The Petlaman animations relate science education to indigenous culture. Additionally, the presentation also address the rationale for making culturally responsive 3D animations for indigenous science learning, the process of producing the Petlaman animations, the controversies confronting the authors in making the Petlaman animations, the responses to the animations in indigenous and non-indigenous communities, and the significance of 3D animation in science and cultural learning among indigenous people.
