NOVEMBER 8, 2021 STEM EP LAUNCH WITH HIP HOP HACKATHON.COM
To empower the Black and Brown journey in STEM, Urbanime has created OPEN SPACES, a year-long initiative that uses the power of comic experiences (comic storytelling, activations, programming) to empower the Black and Brown Journey in STEM that we are launching on November 8.
The launch will feature our "STEM EP," a six-page culture zine that will be a love letter from each STEM area to the culture. Our goal is to appeal to Black and Brown audiences' enthusiasm for STEM and show how STEM needs them for the future of society.
STEM EP OVERVIEW
Called an “EP” Urbanime releases culture zines that mix comic book storytelling and editorial articles. For National STEM Day we are releasing a “STEM EP” focusing on the world of STEM for our audience.
Our theme is “STEM Needs… You” and is a love letter “from” STEM to our audience telling the audience that their ignition, innovation, and creativity is needed to meet the challenges and empathy necessary for STEM to face the challenges of investing more complex world
The EP will feature a letter from four professionals, one in each area speaking to their experiences, how Black and Brown voices are needed and appealing to others to join their efforts.
