CRITTERBOTS: THE BATTLE CONTINUES is an evening to help bring awareness and gain volunteers for local organization Islands of Brilliance — who runs monthly experiential learning workshops in art, design, and technology designed specifically for children, teens, and young adults on the autism spectrum.
CRITTERBOTS: THE BATTLE CONTINUES demonstrates the creative activities used in workshops and classes with Islands of Brilliance students by mirroring one of the past workshops led by Critterbot’s creator, UW-M design faculty member, Kim Beckmann.
“There's a tremendous power in the act of individuals coming together to make something together. This collective energy is something we all yearn for. We discovered this in an important appeal of our IOB workshops, and we seek to (re)create the same spirit in ongoing events with AIGA for the creative community at large.” — Mark Fairbanks, Co-founder and Executive Director of Islands of Brilliance
