Project Description
BBC iWonder, a growing part of bbc.co.uk curated by BBC Learning, provides thought-provoking answers to fascinating questions sparked by BBC programmes, the news, anniversaries and world events. Working with Manchester’s Modern English, we created new guides on topics as diverse as Memory, Lucid Dreaming and Online Safety, each presented by an expert in the field. The guides use animations, short films, infographics and other interactive elements to provide engaging answers to the questions posed.
As copywriter for the team, I was involved in researching, writing and crafting content throughout production before it was launched to the site’s millions of weekly visitors.
