Twig is an online learning platform for science topics and consists of over 600 short high-quality films and multimedia teaching materials to help teachers enthuse and educate students aged 11-16 about science - Biology (including Health), Chemistry, Physics, and Earth Science.

Created in 2009 by the Italian primary school Direzione Didattica di Cassola, this project learned students of the 5th year how to create a digital cartoon and learned about the cinematographic and audiovisual language by using videos and cartoons in the Apple multimedia laboratory. They acquired multimedia producition skills on their own by working in the multimedia laboratory. This experience involves all subjects and it helps each student to develop his/her own abilities and to express themselves in different ways.
