Why are all comics about other people? Aren’t you the most interesting person around? Should you be a super hero instead of that Clark Kent dude? Here’s your chance. Starting January 4, our own Sebastian Mondrone will be coaching a new version of this course on creating cartoons using Comic Life and iMovie. For more information, see the course description.
Some of you may have heard of WNBC’s news segment “Wednesday’s Child”. Every week Janice Huff interviews a foster child who would like to be adopted. They find out some interest of the child such as sports, music, or…video games, and they arrange for him or her to get a lesson. It’s a wonderful program. [...]

“My daughter had a terrific time and also learned so much during your Robotics Camp. She was so sad that it all came to an end. She seemed more self confident at the end of the week.

It was a comforting thought that when I dropped her off in the morning, I knew she was in good hands. That is truly a gift for any parent.”
