More about the Community Cartoons at Waterford and Gunn Memorial Public Libraries Publication:

47 kids and their families responded to Storytelling Challenge “Publish Your Own Comic Strip Stories” at a GIANT Remix Station at Waterford and Gunn Memorial Public Libraries in Connecticut:

GIANT families dreamed, created, and shared comic strips. Here, we have “remixed” their creations into one GIANT book of comics. Each comic has its own title page and mini poster with the story’s title, the author’s name, and the author’s age. Using participants’ ideas, drawings, writings, and input, we created AI-generated avatars of the characters that appear in their story and an AI-generated background image as the setting for their story. There’s even a place for participants to add their official author signature!

We are extremely honored to partner with Connecticut State Libraries and bring GIANT creative STEM experiences to the Connecticut community at the Waterford and Gunn Memorial Public Libraries. We implemented a Remix Station with Waterford and Gunn Memorial Public Libraries’ directors, Christine Johnson, Jenna Bivona, Ashley Doerwald, and Emma Kornetov. Here, we have “remixed” this community’s creations into a one-of-a-kind comic book, GIANT Comic Book: Community Cartoons at Waterford and Gunn Memorial Public Libraries.
