Ever wondered what lived under the bush floor? What crawled between the moss leaves?With My Little Eye is an installation, online experience, and physical card game that invites young explorers to peek into the fascinating world of aquatic microfauna. At a gallery-based exhibition, children and their parents are immersed in a universe of microscopic creatures and ephemera. 

Tasked with locating these critters using a set of physical creature cards, participants scan the creatures scattered across suspended cloth screens to uncover facts, game stats, and special power moves on an interactive website. Through the process of matching the creatures on their cards, they engage in a large-scale game of I Spy—revealing the wonders of our diverse ecology and inspiring a closer look at the natural world around us.






It’s fascinating when 
everything moves. 
Having never done any sort of work like this before, I went into this completely blind. I find myself having so much fun learning from exhibits like Te Papa and Space Place. As a result, I wanted to explore how immersive media could be a valuable resource to enhance science learning.

Did you know? The tardigrade has a fascinating ability to survive any climate. By dehydrating itself, it can withstand freezing and boiling temperatures, starvation and even the vacuum of space.
