Abstract: The article focuses on the "Animate to Captivate" motion graphics design challenge, which aims to teach students dynamic visual communication skills within technology and engineering education. Students engage in a multi-step process that includes identifying a community communication need, selecting appropriate software tools like Adobe After Effects or Canva, mastering motion principles such as keyframing and transitions, and connecting their work to professional industry standards. The project culminates in delivering animations across multiple platforms, including printed posters with QR codes and augmented reality apps, fostering both technical proficiency and client-focused soft skills. This challenge emphasizes transforming students from passive content consumers into creative digital problem solvers with real-world applications. [Extracted from the article]
