The Artifacts is an interactive storybook. Take a Journey with Asaf, as he explores his world and you might just find he's not so different from yourself. While it is aimed at middle grade, parents should also get lots of enjoyment from the story and interactivity.
The Artifacts
SteamThe Artifacts is an interactive storybook, originally created for tablet devices. Its creators are from Australia and New Zealand, who set out to tell a resonant, universal story with an eco theme. Since its 2011 release The Artifacts has found popularity with middle grade readers and adults alike. This story is a perfect fit for Grade 4 and 5, and we are told it links perfectly to CCSS language arts (especially 5.RL.7.ii).
We have maintained an aspect ratio of 4:3 to preserve the original artwork. You will see panels on the side of a typical 16:9 ratio computer monitor. We have provided an option to run The Artifacts in a window on the desktop, without the panels.
