Yesterday, the IoT and Quantum Tech bootcamps dove into an incredible self-exploration activity powered by AI. It was an enlightening (and honestly, super fun) experience where we collaborated to build an entire world from scratch: the Quakadoodle Universe.After defining our world, we each designed characters that reflected our personal growth and self-discovery. I’m thrilled with how mine turned out! Huge shout out to Christopher Cooley for dreaming up such an immersive, visionary activity—the CNM ingenuity team and our students truly loved every minute of it.

Chris and his team led a workshop with a large group of young men and mentors from our Go Beyond program. Our goal was to create learning and networking opportunities. Mission accomplished! Chris led an engaging workshop that got us all thinking, creating, and talking together. His work helped us create connections that can last a lifetime.

My son took a class with Cooley Comics at the public library. He had a fantastic experience and learned so much! Chris really went above and beyond and from this experience, my son has really opened up his creativity and built his confidence! Thank you Cooley Comics!! Hopefully my son will have the opportunity to learn more from you all!

I work for the Westgate Public Library, and as a library we face certain challenges that come with being a public space. Cooley Comics makes overcoming those challenges a breeze thanks to their flexibility. They make the entire process simple and enjoyable. Chris and his team handle all the hard work so you can focus on the fun, creative part of bringing your story to life. Chris is a pillar in the community who truly cares about giving kids the chance to tell their own stories. He stays with you through every step of the process and is always flexible and supportive. Seeing the excitement on the kids’ faces as their comics come together makes it all worth it. Highly recommend Cooley Comics, I can’t wait to work with them again.

My 10 year old son took the class. He draws comics all the time and sometimes gets frustrated that his artistic skill can't show his full idea. After 10 minutes of the class with Chris and his team my son's eyes lit up realizing how AI could help fill in some of his deficiencies but not his creativity. This was a very good class and I recommend this team and company to anyone interested.

I can’t say enough positive things about Cooley Comics workshop. My son had the best time and is so proud of what he was able to accomplish. The encouraging, fun and positive atmosphere was incredible! My son has some learning and focus difficulties and often becomes discouraged and gives up on things. Not during this workshop! Not even once was he disengaged or feeling frustrated and that is because of the team of awesome people guiding the kids and encouraging their creativity through each step. We both had so much fun and would love to join in on other workshops in the future! Thank you all for putting on such an amazing workshop!

I had the privilege of observing a workshop @ Geneva Public Library on 10/10 with local youth learning AI to make an avatar and create a comic book to share a story. The passion and interest from Chris Cooley (owner), Jeff and Tony was inspiring to watch as the youth became excited to see their creations. Having worked with youth over my 30+ year career, I see the relevance to offer tools to help lift a person's confidence, see they have talents and as, Chris says model the intentions of Cooley Comics to "Be Seen, Be Heard and Have fun!" What an opportunity and much needed resource for young people.

Creativity Unlocked and Unleashed!My boys - the youth participants of the BMA Youth Mentorship Program - had a ball of fun creating characters and worlds that they controlled. From the planning of their characters actions, moods, character traits, and motivation, my boys had the opportunity to flex their imaginations and unleash their creativity.The team over at Cooley Comics lead our boys down the path of learning and creating with AI – something that was brand new to them all. From this experience, a few of our boys have gained a new interest in AI seeing that it can become more than just a tool to use but can build their future careers.Because we love to celebrate our boys, we held an AI Comic Book Creation Presentation in September 2025. Chris and his team joined us in presenting the comic books to 16 of our youth and to myself and the president of the BMA – we created comic books, too! Their smiles and laughter as they held their books and flipped through the pages of them were priceless. We encouraged them to swap comic books with their fellow creators and to give a copy to another youth who didn’t get the chance to create one.We’re thankful for the opportunity our boys received. We hope other youth in the Rochester community can create their own comic books and learn a new skill that can lead to a thriving career.
