More about the GIANT Chapter Book Remix Publication
Co-designed and co-written by 16 students and a multidisciplinary team of artists, educators, and writers at The GIANT Room, Super Habitat Engineers to the Rescue showcases students’ achievements in science, creative writing, and AI literacy. It invites families and friends to celebrate, reflect on, and learn from their creations.
For six weeks, The GIANT Room and the Joan Ganz Cooney Center at Sesame Workshop partnered with students and teachers to co-design a classroom book and a deck of trading cards showcasing students’ science learning and writing. Throughout the project, students also strengthened their AI literacy and critical-thinking skills by responsibly using a suite of AI tools to support their creative writing process.
As part of the school’s Plant and Animal Relationships science unit, the program explored the connections between animals, plants, and their habitats. Students created their own “Habitat Engineers” with special powers to help the environment, then wrote informational and persuasive manuscripts to convince scientists why their Engineer should be considered the habitat’s superhero. Their completed work is featured in this book, along with a set of collectible Habitat Engineer trading cards.
We extend our gratitude to the school and the Joan Ganz Cooney Center for their partnership, and to the Robin Hood Foundation for funding the program and making this publication possible.
