A whole school explored how AI shows up in today's world, and twelve student stories became printed comics.
By the numbers
- 200+ students explored how AI is used in today's world
- 12 student stories went from ideas to printed comics
With support from the Genesee County Economic Development Center, John Kennedy Intermediate School brought Cooley Comics to its students.
Students saw how AI is changing the work they'll walk into, then used it the Cooley Comics way: as an access point for their own ideas. Twelve of those ideas became finished, printed comic books.
- 200+ students saw how AI connects to the world they will work in
- Twelve young authors held a printed book they made
- Learning became tangible: something students are proud of
