FREE Writing Workshops for Teens
Summer programs for Mighty Writers aged 13+

Blood and Guts Galore (Ages 11-13)
Mondays & Wednesdays 4:00-6:00pm
July 9, 11, 16, 18, 23, 25
What could be better than to spend your summer exploring blood, guts and gory diseases? Learn about extreme diseases and find out how science is a part of everyday life. Like the scientific method, science writing is methodical, and we’ll learn the steps for communicating scientific ideas clearly. As a group, we’ll take a trip to Philadelphia’s Mutter Museum and end the workshop with scientific multimedia presentations.

Mighty Mural Project (Ages 12-15)
Sundays 3:30-5:00pm
July 8, 15, 22, 29, Aug. 5, 12 (6 sessions)
As a Mighty Writer, you’re invited to participate in the design and messaging of a mural in South Philadelphia. In partnership with the Artistic Rebuttal Book Project, this workshop will offer students a forum to think about writing and art, and the value of each to our South Philadelphia neighborhood. This workshop will include writing, design and illustration, and will end with a mural design to be painted during the spring of 2013. Make your mark on South Philadelphia!

Writing Comic Scripts (Ages 12+)
Tuesdays 6:00-8:00pm
July 10, 17, 24, 31, Aug. 7, 14 (6 sessions)
This is a class with a little bit of “character.” Every story, no matter what, needs characters. In this class we will create robust characters and write high-action comic scripts. Get your pens ready. If you’ve got an idea for a story, we’ll show you how to create the characters you’ll need to make your story stand out.

Teen Lounge (Ages 13+)
Wednesdays 6:00-8:00pm
Ongoing
Come relax in our studio late night on Mighty Writers’ second floor, where we’ll discuss issues, make creative projects and just hang out. Did we mention we have a pool and ping-pong table? We’ll also take some field trips and get to know guest artists from around the city.

All classes take place at 1501 Christian St. in Philadelphia.
