Victoria, BC - Animikii Inc is very excited to promote the development of new interactive games for the young learners of “FirstVoices”. Victoria based Animikii Inc. has worked closely with The First Peoples’ Cultural Foundation (FPCF) to developed two educational games to assist children in learning Aboriginal languages. They have succeeded in designing fun and educational activities through integrating sound animations/spoken words, and a high degree of visually appealing interactivity. Using the leading technology of Macromedia Flash, Animikii’s games were designed to be not only stimulating and exciting for young learners but through their interaction are also very functional. "We needed fun activities that integrated animations and sound. The Flash based games designed by Animikii exceeded our expectations and are receiving great reviews from parents, teachers and students seeking access to Aboriginal language content at FirstVoicesKids.com." said Peter Brand, FirstVoices Coordinator. Animikii values the opportunity to be part of a project which will carry on the legacies of Indigenous Cultures into the future.
