The most unique experiences we offer are AI Comic Labs! Click the button below to learn more about these facilitated, in-person and online workshops. In-person sessions are hosted at the Rochester Central Library and we build custom labs for community partners and clients. We have created over 100 comics with youth in the Rochester community and have been fully endorsed by the Rochester City School District’s Dr. Demario Strickland.

“My son wants to be an author. This lab introduced him to what’s possible and was a step toward his dream. AI is amazing, it took the words out of his head and helped him get it out.”
