Arab-German Young Academy of Sciences and Humanities (AGYA)

The Adventures of Salma is the first AGYA science comic for children. It is the result of an AGYA tandem project by Suhair Sunoqrot and Franziska Lissel, who want to inspire Arabic-speaking girls in particular to embrace STEM subjects. In the first issue titled 'Salma Rides Ultrasound Waves' Salma and her friend Yasmin learn about ultrasonic waves to solve a pressing problem: They develop an app that warns cell phone users when they get too close to an object, which helps them avoid collisions so that they can enjoy their social media life without interruption. The app ‘UltraSalma’ is a hit and has surprising consequences in real social life… 

The illustrations were created by the up-and-coming Jordanian artist Sereena Hamad.
