SUPERMEMOJI turns the emoji — the most universal symbol of our era — into a teaching tool. Read through a semiotic lens of signifier and signified, a single icon reveals wildly different meanings across cultures, generations, and official-vs-real use.

Built as a narrative role-play course, it guides students through a four-step method — Worldview, Deconstruct, Refactor, Create — using "what do you see / what do you think of" to move from reading symbols to authoring their own narratives.
