GIANT Comic Book: Granby Cartoons
Co-designed and co-written by several families, librarians, AI, and a multidisciplinary team of artists, educators, and writers at The GIANT Room, Granby Cartoons invites all kids (and adults) to read the silliest and craziest comic strips!
We are extremely honored to partner with Connecticut State Libraries and bring GIANT creative STEM experiences to the Connecticut community at the Granby Public Library. We implemented a Remix Station with Granby Public Library’s director, Michele Kaminski.
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 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 want to thank the librarians and staff from Granby Public Library for their partnership. Funding for this program was made possible by the Connecticut State Library and Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA), provided through the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS).
