2014 Denver Comic Con - Illya Kowachuk, Comic Book Classroom

Comic Book Classroom


"We knew there was a tremendous, inherit value to pop culture".


Illya Kowalchuk is the Director of Education for the Pop Culture Classroom, the educational program whose mission is to ignite "a love of learning, increases literacy, celebrates diversity and builds community through the tools of popular culture and the power of self-expression".

The Pop Culture Classroom is bringing pop culture to Kindergarten through 12th Grade students, to help them learn the comic creation process, using classic literacy-based lessons to teach students how to create their own story arc, a quality beginning middle and end, reach a climax, arrive at a conclusion, which creates a change in the character. 

Or, as we've heard from the Comic Con quite often, pop culture is a gateway to higher learning, literacy and the arts & sciences.
