In their own words.In their own voices.

A few months ago I didn't know anything about digital art and now I'm getting paid to make comic books, all because of the AI Comic Labs.

We saw an opportunity to let them use their creativity to create something really fabulous and tangible, and something that they're proud of.

Creating something together gave us a new way to connect across generations and helped me process (and build) deep and meaningful memories. This program was life changing for me.

It made me feel good! It made me feel like I got something done. It made me feel like I dove into my brain a little bit. I dug something out and got it done. I worked for it.

I left with an idea I could adapt for the young people I work with and also got my son enrolled in another program run by the same facilitators. He is 12 and once he took the program we had some amazing dialogue and things to talk more deeply about, together.

Having a device at home made it easier to keep working on my project. If I didn't have this I wouldn't be able to do this kind of work because I would have to go to the library everyday, and that's just not possible for me.

I liked being able to make my character look the way I imagined.

The activity gave families a playful way to connect and create together. It's one of the biggest groups we've had for an event like this and we would love to do it again. The families were so engaged!

Having our kids have access to it, even in a creative way, will start to prepare them for their future.

The kids were all so grateful and more engaged than I have ever seen them. This is something very special.

They're getting job skills, they're getting social-emotional support, they're getting literacy support, and they're doing it in a way that's fun and doesn't seem like work to them.
