We are excited to announce auditions for the animated adaptation of Sibo the Civil Engineer, a Zimbabwean children’s book on civil engineering.
The book was written by: Michelle Rutendo Sibongile Maphosa, illustrated by Wadzanayi Kim Bwanya, you can find the book on Amazon.
The book is short and powerful and the aim of the series is to ignite an interest in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) in young children.
We will be producing the animated adaptation of the children’s book so here is how it is going to go down!
