It is about the story of Stefanie who wants to have a career in medicine when she grows up. Stefanie starts learning how the human body works and how to be healthy. Users learn by following the story of Stefanie. This app does not have the feel of a pure science book. It uses a technique of teaching science which incorporates storytelling. The fictional aspect of the app which involves the story of Stefanie appeals to children's feelings making the title more attractive and entertaining. The app addresses both the emotions and intellect of a child.

The title teaches anatomy and how to keep healthy in a very pleasant way and without presenting unattractive images of the internals of the human body. On each screen children can hear sounds, discover videos, animations, and attractive images. This compels them to go through all the screens in order to discover and at the same time learn in an enjoyable way.

To make learning interesting, fun and effective the app uses:

• Videos of Stefanie role playing and demonstrating ideas

• Animations which visualize concepts making them easier to understand

• Attractive graphics

• Voice over

• Interactivity

• Humour
